Well got in some nice powder turns yesterday at the BEast....solid 4-6 by the time we left with no change over. I'll let the helmet cam video from LiftlineRedcoat do the talking. I'm the one on tele gear, white helmet.

Yep, what a great day. :grin: Every trail on the hill open again. Great bumps on Grizzly, Liftline and Jug, soft sweetness in the woods everywhere. Hard to beat it..

Thanks for linking the video BeastPatroller, you beat me to it!

Ah if it's open, we're skiing it. That's what makes the BEast so much fun! Good woods. Gotta get in there next fall and "freshen" a few of them up!

Any day where there's enough snow cover is the right day to patrol in the woods! There's a lot of great little spots that open up only a few days a year at the BEast, yesterday was one of those days...

BTW, here's a link to Thursday's clip on Vimeo:

I'll post a link to today's clip on Vimeo later this evening after it finishes processing.

Great video. The cover at the BEast looks great. Gotta get up there.

Click to expand...

Most of the woods still have that solid base from the thaw and the snow from Wed/Thurs last week so most of the woods have a solid base read for more powder!

East Glade - nice but thin in spots as usual
Tomahawk - top is out but down lower is good
Blizzard Island - $$$$
West peak off the Quad - due to the low traffic over there it's good

Didn't ski The Beast or Horris' Grove as too many other lines to ski in such a short amount of time :wink:
