I got started about 11 am with the rest of the crew. Did a few runs on Ego Alley and then hit Ripcord which was a first for me. Doesn't get much better than sweet corn. Great run and VERY steep. It deserved the hype it gets. Not long, but as steep as anything I've ever skied, pretty much.
Ego was fun. Low angle seeded bumps. Couldn't find a groove today though. Still had a blast ripping it up with everyone else. So cool to have such a large group of good skiers. Took a late lunch around 1:30 and got back out there. Many runs on Ego. Getting to it from Ledges was great. A little thin and burnt out, but still a cool little character run. Eventually made it over to Jaws on TNF which was awesome. First for me on that run too, I believe. Real nice. Another natural character run, but nicely pitched with sweet corn bumps. Finished with two back to back Ego runs. The last consisted of enjoying a snow chilled Bud Light that powhunter had stashed in the woods. Went to the final bell finishing at about 4:25.
What a day. Aside from a powder day, this is as good as it gets. Bluebird, sun, no wind and probably in the 60's. Good company made it perfect. I got some burnage going too despite SPF30 I slathered on this morning. Bright ass sun today.
The vid is cooking. I'll start uploading tonight, but probably won't post the links until the morning.

You should have stopped and said hello!
