3-31-05 - Alta - keyhole was off the shizzle deep
November, Solitude, with BobMc, Flkydog, Twoplanker, MacDaddy, saw Iceman and son, say Woodsy for a bit and I think Ned and Kristen were there that day. 21 inches or 27, not sure, but at that amount, who cares, faceshots every run. First time I dropped a small cliff and just stopped up to my armpits. Holy fun was that day.
All the memories of that day as WHITE!

Drove from Tahoe to Mammoth on Jan 1st, to score the reported :rolleyes: 90" that fell in 2 days. 395 was fucked, but we made it, woke up to blue skies on the 2nd and scored 4th chair on 23 and an untracked Monument and other various spots that were facking deep. Only got three runs off the top that day before the weather moved back in and snowed another 90". What a great Holiday week for the Sierras.
All fucking week....but with a smile!!Quote:

3/24-3/25/05
crested butte mountain resort
notes from my ski log...
3/24: 9" fresh reported @ 6am. Updated to 14" by 9am. Skied like 24" in most places. xxx said the snow was up to my chest... This was one of the best days I've EVER skied at CB. Other long time locals were saying the same thing. We were on about 15th-20th chair w/ xxx and xxx and xx and hit up unbelievable fresh tracks on hawks nest, cesspool, etc. just skied all day nonstop with whoever we could find. phat. word.
3/25: another 11" reported today, but most of it fell yesterday. Still skiing like fat fresh everywhere. Skied solo first thing and was probably on 10th chair or so. Was the 4th or 5th person into teo bowl and then hiked out to spellbound for more freshies. hooked up with xxx and xxx later in the day on another spellbound lap. then randomly met up w/ xxxx on paradise lift and did sock-it-to-me, etc with him until end of day. sweet.
sorry, no pics. too busy hiking laps and making turns...
:fm:
Yeah, I lost count of how many times I Dug this facker out over the holidaysQuote:

and 4/20/05 @ the bird was rad..
Thanksgiving weekend and March 31 at the Bird. There were a few really good days in JH, but they were few and far between. I didn't get nearly enough days on the iggies this year...
It was kinda deep this day.

Great day, not too many skiers there that day :D
well i dont live out west so my days just dont compare. but february 13, 2005 was incredible at sunday river in maine. 25-30 inches fresh reported as of the day before. we scored almost waitst deep tracks on secret trails and poached the lift lines. best day, and most snow i have ever skiied at a easter resort. the only other day this year that was amazing was skiing the backcountry (thompson brook) at wildact. its nothing steep and open, but quite the opposite. narrow chutes and frozen stream beds caked in powdder!
I was and it was sick!, something like thisQuote:

the next day the area was completely closed as another 100cm+ had fallen overnight. on my birthday on friday march 11th the official avalanche bulletin read: 150cm of new snow have fallen in the last 48 hours (not counting the stuff before :D). on that day the resort opened again and i skied unskied lines...sooo that would make my deepest untouched about 60 inches..... but the snow had compacted so youd not sink in over your knees. leaving the wednesday with the deepest skiing ever.
