I can't even remember the last time I had a pow day like this, maybe Mammoth in 2007? Even then, I don't think it was close to 3 feet. It was actually a weird feeling, skiing pow that deep, and remembering how to tackle it. There was almost -dare I say it- too much snow. I got stuck multiple times and had to kick my skis free. The steep stuff at the top of the imperial express was closed all day, so there was not much steep stuff at Breck that had sustained vertical. Most of the videos from Breck (Where I have my K2 Pontoons on) were around Chair 6. I was lucky enough to make second chair since some boarder biffed it in the liftline, causing a pileup and allowing me to pass in the other line :smash:


All and all, a great day, although looking back I wish I changed my approach to skiing pow a little. Could've been a little more aggressive, but it's been a long time.

(Meant to upload in 1080 but didn't, 720 should work)
