Conditions; Packed powder, Powdah
So the Continental Divide has been getting a constant 4-6 inches per day all week so we knew Saturday was going to be a mad house which it was. Will talk about that in a bit. In any case, Friday was best since it meant fewer people. Ya right! It is a powder day. We paid to park so we were good. We arrived around during 9:30 and could only ski until 2, had to get back for my sons lacrosse practice.
We immediately went to Montezuma Bowl which was fantastic. We skied Long Chutes and Black Bear while already chopped up, the bumps tjat were forming were soft and fun. We also did a couple runs on the groomers as well before heading to the front side.
We skied a run on East Wall where the powder was not as tracked out and maybe because of that the snow felt deeper. Everyone was hootin' and hollerin'. That was the best run thus far. We ended up going in for lunch then went back out to do a couple runs from the Pali lift. While the day was short, we had probably one of our best days this season. The lift lines were a little long at first but improved. The wait at Lenawee was almost 15 minutes but that was the longest.
Snowing on Montezuma side.
