Riding the first batch of chairs at Hunter Thursday I knew there would be a whole throng of people that were going to have a very tough day. They come up with their skinny skis hoping for a spectacular day..and why not..its a powder day. Problem is their are not enough of them. I remember skiing real powder for the first time at Alta. 48 inches in 48 hours. I spent the day cartwheeling through it. And spent several season trying to figure it out. But i was able to go out west and practice. You can't do that here. Even had a guy on the lift ask me to help him out for a run. Couldn't figure out how to transition from hardpack to powder skiing. The youger ones have fun because they don't care if they fall..the older crowd..another story. Its a hard thing to learn when you just don't get enough of it..and your doing it on skis meant for ice. But when it falls..everyone is compelled to get out there.
Lets hope we get more days like Thursday...we need it.
