Abasin 5/9-5/11

Arrived safe and sound and I'm at the condo! We stopped by the base of Abasin to see the Hart rep. Looks good! I have some photos but since they're not skiing, I'll wait until the good stuff tomorrow (and update this thread).

Can't wait! I brought the Maries and the old boots, so it should be good.

Awesome! Watch out for the bumps there. They get mighty big in the spring.

I may be up on Sunday.

I wear ratty looking green pants, black cloudveil coat, 4frnt with mountain scenic graphics and ugly looking purple poles with yellow grips. If you see me yell out brian.

Just look for the poles, they are sooo ugly and stand out.

Sick!

Haven't been in over ten years, but A-Basin is my favorite place I skied out West. I can remember skiing there for the first time when I was 16. I caught on with a local bartender named Pain Cave Dave. In that first picture, there's a GIANT drop right in the middle. I believe they called it the Quan. Dave dropped it with only about ten inches of fresh to land in. I would put it at a 50-60 foot huck. That was the first day of a killer week chasing locals around the hill.

LOVE A-Basin and hope you have a great time there.

The new stuff at montezuma is pretty nice. it adds some good cruising terrain similar to the cruisers on the upper half of the mountain.
