What is the perfect run?

To this day I will never forget it... I was spending a week at Bach with my Dad during the first week in April... The first part of the week we got 3 to 5 inches, but it was your PNW heavy wet snow (still fun)... Late Tuesday afternoon the temps dropped and the snow was UT quality... When I left I had that feeling and the next day was the best day I have ever had... Bach got 13" over night and when we got there at 9 the temp was 17... It was like a snow apocalypse... The wind was brutal and cold as shit and to my absolute surprise there was no one there... I got on the chair (which was swinging due to the high winds) and the visibility was basically zero... As I got to the top I could hear Led Zeplin playing and once I could see the lift shack I could see the liftie playing his air broom and lost it when he saw me... I got off the chair and could barely see any further than about 10 yds ahead of me... Once I got my bearings I headed to the closest tree line and that is when I knew I was going to have my greatest run ever... I had the whole place to myself and skiing 13 to 18 of virgin cold smoke... I have never laughed and hollered that much skiing... When I got back to the lift I literally fell over laughing... A patrolmen asked me if I wanted to do some laps with him, which I did and skied the NW chair the rest of the day... The whole day was incredible, but to this day I will never forget that first run...

Friends on a Powder Day!

I was reminded the other day of skiing the Spine in Palli bowl A-Basin in the 80's. Storms would blow in from the south west and you'd get knee deep. By the time you rode back up your tracks would be gone and I'd lap it for hours. Pretty sweet. No lift lines weekdays back then.

This. There's no perfect one but a lot of runs can be fkn sick. If you're at the bottom and you're as stoked as one can be, it's somewhere near perfect.

This one was prit near perfect. 3500 vertical fall line feet. Flowed like water. May 3, this year. It had it all. Steep technical start, a bit of smooth cream, some awesome steep surfy boot top north facing pow, creamy open full throttle cruising, perfect corn quad recovery rest turns, then a big steep fallway steep final 1000 foot plunge to valley bottom in continuing perfect corn.

Wow, that looked fucking awesome.

the run with powder! ... but I'd say I had Three perfect runs at least 1)fresh 6inches just groomed around -1 am:)- top of supreme lift Alta. 2) catching Mineral basin opening-bird- and being the first ones out there. 3) omg -the high t -on a heavy snow day takes the cake at Alta-runs fill in as you ride the lift up!

The run you like, if you have never had a good run you might wana think about what yer thinkin?
