Powder Day at Stowe!! yeah baby!

powderfreak · Dec 4, 2007, 7:43 PM

My buddy, Tyson, and I ripped through glades all day long...there was a lot
of snow...choking at times in the Bypass Chutes. We broke trail out to the
chutes and then proceeded to nab first tracks on chute 1 and Stephanie's.
This was by far the best, and probably deepest, December powder I've ever
skied. It was like a foot of good, but dense powder followed by another
foot+ of feathers. This on top of a 20" crust protected base.

Tyson drops into Steph's. The two feet on top of the crust basically just
went "poof," cracked, and formed quite a serious slough which was impressive.

More Stephanie's action by some skiers we met up with.

First tracks in the good places.

Really look at this one. Several times during the day I watched Tyson
disappear and reappear as he snorkeled down the steep and deep. Here I
caught him right before he disappeared. The depth in here was 24-36 and a
lot of it was pure fluff.

Go ski now.

Yes, Lawd! I love that line off of bypass. Nothing like blasting that lower section out into NDGlades at 1000mph. Nice pics. It is SO on.
