The last 3 days at the Bird have been great...
It's pretty big but I finally settled into some terrain... Love the whole Gad 2 area... STEEP trees.. Lot's of cold snow to be found... Much of it still fresh... some nice quick hiking options for fresh lines.
Love the Cirque/Great Scott - Great Scott was kinda rutted at the top but the face below it had great snow...
The Cirque is like a little playland...
So many options for dropping -into sweet sweet utah snow...
Mineral Basin.. Is vast with a ton of options... I tended to stay in and around the Cliffs under the Baldie chair.. But the other side of the bowl - accessed quickly off the Little Cloud chair is awesome... Still - good fresh and cold snow left..
Peruvian Gulch has great riding too... It was closed for a compitition but i got there yesterday...
I'd give the Bird a solid 8 - for me... IMHO...
Still put Jackson Hole above it for many reasons...
But I've enjoyed my time here... last day is today... tomorrow Solitude...
