Yes, pan tilt zoom. It's brand new one someone happened to be testing it out with serindipitous timing.Quote:

Great that you’re finally able to get back out there. I’ve been struggling w ankle issues myself but went to the Basin a week ago, then went on a mtb ride on Sunday followed by a flight for life event Monday night w pain in my chest. Needed a graft to repair an ulcerated aorta that I didn’t even know I had. Getting old aint for the faint of heart. Hoping to get back on snow soon.Quote:

Couldn't believe how deep the snow was vs how busy it wasn't at Vail yesterday. Skied onto the lift all day.
Pass was closed….country club day!Quote:

I got interlodged. It was Epic.
Cold, windy but awesome day at Copper. Tucker Mtn is skiing great after weeks of good snow and skier compaction.
Hmm. Took a couple back there today and thought it was just ok. The chop was kinda hard to charge but it was soft tho. Upper areas are filled in real well with that compaction for sure. I was digging the groomers today, perfect for carving and really bending up that ski.Quote:

honestly I think that grip was a little bit of it, real soft snow just harder to plow through and the skiing has been so good that maybe it didn't quite measure up. like I said though those groomers were prime and sometimes that is really fun to let my past mediocre ski racer in me arc some turns,.Quote:

Skiings been great!
Sometimes the stuff that's been skied a little, is better than the chunk.
I'll be skiing the Gondi this weekend.
This. That super cold and grabby snow skied a lot better in the areas with more traffic IMO.Quote:

The last two days have been so very nice. If all of Copper went away but the east side I would still be happy. I just worked my way across spalding ridge dropping into one chute after the next. Then zoom across and ski under resolution chair, just lap it.
I also love to ski Black Bear and Free Fall glades. It reminds me so much of the alleys but at least twice the vert and none of the traffic. My best news is that they made a perfect groomer path all the way down to the southwest corner of Alpine lot - ski all the way back to parking!
^^^ Is Free Fall glades new? I don’t think I’ve been in there.
And that’s great to hear about the path to the Alpine Lot. Does it go from the bottom of the lift to the lot?
The way down is a single cat track groomer that splits off to the right from the Bee traverse. Keep your speed up! When you get to the parking lot you have to downclimb like 15-20ft, it's just a little sketchy but there's a bootpack which you'll see when you park. Totally worth it.Quote:
