Sounds like an all-time birthday to me.
So much for the storm hitting the bay area before Kirkwood, the webcam is showing snow already.....
^^ classic!
Hella good snow steering with that stang I bet. Haha! I might be getting flu on Wed. Sweet.
I'm at Heave almost every day (working).
Possible the only person up there on CMH Explosives & freerides.
(and soon to have change for a nickel stickers I hope.)
I was just about to upload that mustang pic myself!
I'm hoping I can social engineer my way out of work tomorrow...
Who is going to be at alpine tomorrow? Or Sugarbowl?
Today was all time @ Alpine. Got up the road at 8:15AM and sat in line for an hour while they did avy work, and then it WENT BLUEBIRD!!!!
rolled into the lot and loaded RH (Summit 6 closed at that point) and hit Gunner's Knob and all those fun little mini golf features back there: it was DEEP and COLD....best RH runs I have had in some time....then started working a track out above lower Beav for untouched goodness - (Borat voice): "a very nice"!
After about an hour rumors began to fly that Scott was going to spin, so I made my way over and decided to wait in line with the 5 or so other fools already there. good call, 20 mins later tey dropped the rope and it was GAME ON...first run was straight down the gut of Scott Chute, super fast and wind buffy, I made maybe 5 turns with a big grin plastered on my face as the hoots and hollers came from above, not as deep as stuff off RH, more wind effected, but good.....second run was the little cliff band that you traverse to and stay high (and light on your skis to avoid rocks), super fun....did 3 or 4more variations of that off Scott....
Again, buzzing about was the rumor that Summit was gonna go....so i got over there about 1 and decided to get in line, and about 1:30 - BOOM, it was a go!
Hit Wolverine first, laid the second track down that face: yeeee haaaa, super blower out there, bee-lined it back to 6, next run was out to Palasides, very noice.....then hit upper Beav and another favorite off 6 and and decided to go back to Scott for a Promised Land end of day run.....
Good call, it was untouched back there and I had one of the funnest PL runs ever, rwas super nice snow back there, and spit me out right ack to the 'lot, and to the car.
great pow day, who woud have thunk they would have gottn so much open and that it would be blue bird!!???
NWS calling for ~ a foot above 7K tonight through tomorrow AM, and they never opened any of the hikes or back-side, so tmrw should be good too!
Insanely jealous of you.
Actually, NOAA is calling for a foot to one and a half. But who's counting.
Hope you appreciated the hard work. We had to punch in both Firebreak (the usual) and Raleys (the not so usual) entries today. Fortunately we were able to follow some slowboarders boot pack out - thank god! Deep, light, needs to be steep, good shit! Not too bony down low either. I'm tired in a good way. Pictures at 11.
kirkwood was really fun. it snowed alot there.
p.s. check the radar.
