Nice day up at Burke using my Fox44 voucher. Breakfast at the comfort inn in St J and then headed up. Wife did 1st shift while I hung out with our son at the Sherburne lodge. She skied 9 till 1030 under a mix of clouds and Sun...enjoyed the classic Burke cruisers and ski on at mid Burke.
I got on skis about 1045 and did a warm up down upper/lower dipper. Very nice pp with hardly any scratchy spots. Next checked out Doug's drop which was in great shape with soft bumps. Wilderness to CaveMan was next also great. Upper Willoughby was excellent as well. Ended my session exploring The Jungle which I'd never done before. A bit more scratchy than the east bowl woods but a nice long/tight glade for sure. When Burkes woods are open and in good shape the mtn is a lot of fun.
Nice lunch in the Tamarack before heading home. Decent crowd but riding singles was no more than a 2-3 min wait. With sunny skies, lifts running until 5, and best conditions of the year it was probably a popular NEK Sunday for the locals.
