Was there yesterday and I'll be there tomorrow but I had to work today dammit. You ever notice how much working can be an inconvenience when the skiing is good?Quote:

Ran laps in the trees. Still low tide compared to normal year, but the skiing was really good.

It was snowing when I left the shop at 6. Marx and Lenin collected the wind blown and were skiing well compared to liberty which got wind hammered. Lateral snow drifts every other turn. Bavaria was good but also was subject to some wind stripping. Heard from a troller that North Summit is close but not quite ready to open. Tried getting intel on the Headwaters while doing some bootfitting but no dice (I suspect they do a quiet midweek opening of Hellroaring soon). Not sure if Gullies opened today but the wind would have loaded those. Big/Ball Room could be stellar when it opens up again too.Quote:

Started on Challenger. It skied great with endless shin deep turns. Talked to a patroller and he said summit was variable with a lot of wind fuck. So I never left...probably got 20 laps.

Fun laps this morning with HobieT, thanks for the holla!
Got shown the light by an old time ridge hippy who flashed smooth, near-nonstop lines… Lesson: Never judge a book by its cover at Bridger. We went to school this morning! So good
:wink:

But you didn't have to ride tram to find good snow today.

And our photo adventure landed some of the prettiest turns of the season.

What an awesome day.
We all would and that’s why we’re junkies… and poor. Or maybe just me.Quote:

The boot pack in many spots was waist deep. We couldn't make it to the top.Quote:
