| I know I'm a newbie here, BUT it wasn't powdah at the rivah on sahtaday. Well, 10" of NE powder with 2" of slab on top, and the slab was what killed you, and me, and many others.
I skied Jordan & Oz from first chair, and got first tracks on Rogue, Tin Woodsman and Eureka. On the steeps I was able to keep my tips under the crust and make turns OK. The lower angle sections were much tougher, as it was too easy to get one tip up, one tip under and get instantly torqued around. I was toast by 10, but met some buddies and kept at it. OZ improved all morning as the slab got broken up and the skiers built up some nice, soft mogul lines. Around 1 the sleet turned to freezing rain and an icy crust started coating everthing, and that was a day. Wasn't champagne powder, but still one of the best days this season! |
