Sugarbush 2/9/08

Conditions: Trails, ungroomed: Tracked powder, scratchy/ice underneath; Trails, groomed: Packed powder, I think, but skied there so little; Woods: Tracked powder, some scratchy parts but much better than ungroomed trails.

As for trails, hit Spillsville, Liftline, top of Rumble, top half of Mall, Moonshine, and Sunrise. The trails had mounds of nice snow but some scratchy spots between the moguls. Skied the woods off Paradise, some woods on Castlerock, some woods off North Lynx (first time and one of the best runs of the day) and some other places. While tracked for the most part (though part of that could be my fault--skiing in the woods alone for the most part, I want to stay near routes others have taken), the snow there was much better and softer than the trails.
A very good day -- but a clear step below Sunday 2/10 at MRG.

No worries... that just means that the skiing was THAT good! Excellent.

Partially that, partially not wanting to keep my dad waiting at the lift, as I was taking longer than him since I was going off trail. Then there is always the issue of being motivated to take my gloves off

I'm getting better, though. Until last year, it was years since I last owned a camera...I just never cared to take pictures. Then I bought one with my main purpose being to take pictures for trip reports

Skiing was great, though--especially Sunday at MRG.

Skier/Boarder espionage is essential. Pictures are priceless. Thanks!
