Burkeapolooza II: February 17-18th

[riverc0il]

burke was unreal today. refilling boot to knee deep all day long, untracked every run from open to close. i doubt there will be much powder left for the weekend after thursday and friday skiers and riders are done with the snow, but i am sure you guys will still find occasional pockets of powder, especially in the woods.

NEK, enjoy that dawn patrol tomorrow morning, probably gonna be one of the best run of your life! fwiw, burke did not have any groomed terrain today, so you will probably be breaking trail.

I love not only the 4:45pm sentence, but the next sentence on the heavy snow not starting yet.....

Quick question... there is a downhill biking trail at the top of Burke (next to the fire tower), but it doesn't appear to be a trail in the winter. Has anybody skied it? If so, how much of a snow base is needed to ski it?

If you are thinking of the trail that I know, it is probably skiable and it is downright gnarly....

Damn, shaping up! Oh, my friend will be coming up as well, he only posted a couple of times on KZone as Idahoskier and he'll be there with his girl.

Pretty sweet list... not that it matters to me (I'm faster than most skiers on the mountain), but am I the only snowboarder attending? If so, I love it. I spent a week in Vail with all skiers and blew their doors off...

Not on the trail map though, right? If I recall the Mtn Biking trail right, it leads to the main road way past the resort...

Wow... 14 AZ member and friends. Does anybody know the record number of people attending a AZ outing?

We had close to 25 at Hunter 12/15/06. But considering the drive to Burke, this is shaping up real nicely! You think the whole mountain will be AZers?

Love the Valentine's Day storm photo on Burke's website...
