Got up at 7:00. 4 inches down on the deck and snowing good. Up to the hill with the crew, Hardy and Kilo, skinned up Gondolier. Snowing hard, with 6 at the lot. An hour later we were in the Shack tuning up and chin clip was allready skiied by 5 people. We skiied Upper and Lower Waterfall and they were full on. 12-20 wind deposited firm pow with good density gradient, and it was puking fluff all over it. Skinned back up from the top of Gondoilier and skied another line on the same pitch. Tight spruce corridor into a small slide path. 24 inches in the trees. Then we skiied Chin Clip part way and skinned out to an open area we sometimes ski. We lapped that area twice, the second time down to the road and it was SO FREAKING AWSOME to ski in the woods. 12-18 inches, and good cover top to bottom. The whole line skiied well and there is a bomber 12 inch base that has really locked the boney shit in. By now it was 11:30 and it was nuking snow. We cruised back up Gondolier and as soon as we got above the lowest rim rock traverse, it was blow in completely flat again, with one or two tracks on it that were quickly disappearing. I skied waterfall to Gondolier and Hardy and Kilo skied another wooded run to gondolier, which was really great, powerful powder that you could lay into HARD, covered in 4-6 inches of fluff. Today was great. It's about time it came early for a change. I took a bunch of pics on the new camera, but they are all freaking huge and I need to figure out how to resize them. Tomorrow should be a great ski day as well because it is still snowing.
