It has covered up all the crust. It was truly about, I don't know, let's say about 12" to 15" of blower in the morning and early afternoon. It snowed almost all day - nuking at times. Stopped around 2:30. It turned much heavier around 3:00 pm. Hucking should be good tomorrow.

At this time of year you gotta treat every pow day like it's the last one. Looks like you guys took advantage.

Holy fuck. Skipping my first class tomorrow.

Soo true. CO definitely went off today. The Basin was incredible in the morning, and some great BC turns were had in the afternoon.


Happy Easter!

nice work fellas!

Nice. Wondering if that was you guys hanging out in the car next to me when I pulled up around 1:45, and then just behind me on the skin toward Hell's? (I was on bros/obnoxious red pants) I spotted Gots/Naxos, and some other ski/FR against the car IIRC. I figured if you were maggs you would have said something when you saw the bros come out of the car...maybe you didn't see them....or maybe that wasn't you guys. :) Anyway, nice shots...it was indeed that good. Best BC day of the year though...not sure about that? I guess I've had some really good ones... :D

Maybe it's time for you and Trackhead to make that road trip happen.

Holy blower!

What a score. :fm:

I dig the POV on this one too.

Nicely done. Im glad a mag was up there to harvest some of the goods.

Nice work...

So happy to see people still getting it (despite the fact that my season's over). Thanks for keeping the stoke going :yourock: .
