Well, I got here a day early so I figured I'd get this epic thread started. Made good time, 6 hours, hardly any stops. Got skiing at 2:20. I planned to use a full day comp just for the few hours this afternoon. The nice guest services women just gave me a lift ticket!
Rode the Superquad twice, Spillway once, then made my way over to King Pine. Weird combo of snow surfaces. Windblown ice, wind-loaded deep manky powder, corn, pre-corn, packed powder was all common on the same trail. Definitely challenging on your toes skiing.
There was a stretch on the king pine quad in the middle of that area that was sweet corn. up high scratchy, down low sticky wet snow. I've never seen so many different conditions in one day.
Hit lowery Misery Whip, Haul Back, Widowmaker, and even Ripsaw. Some of that was spectacular, some of it borderline miserable. Still glad to get on some natural trails....might be hard to come by after the big freeze coming.
Got checked in and I'm finishing up a Bag burger now. I'll be out early tomorrow to rip some cord.
