Conditions: Primarily Loose/Frozen Gran, PP & Corn secondary
Trip Report:
NHpowderpup and I were looking to ski this weekend but I know how freakin crazy it can get from past experiences. One experience in particular was standing in line at the Needles Eye chair and the line was soooo looong we were all doing the wave in the corral. You could litterally see it wind its way through the crowd. The wait was almost 1 hour.
I was also wondering how wind would affect lifts on some of the bigger mountains so I chose to mellow out at King Pine. What a great choice!
I love RT. 153 and decided to take the long way today. Anyone who has taken it knows how twisty and hilly it is. But the frost heaves,OMG! Make sure you have an empty bladder before you start the car!
We pulled into a pretty empty parking lot around 8:30 and got a spot right up front. Our first lift was around 9 and the snow was fast but still carvable. There was also almost no wind! We banged out run after run and had a ball. I worked on pole plants,upper body position and hand and arm placement with my boy and he was soaking it up like a sponge. I was so proud! We blasted home early afternoon. Conditions were still good and crowds were light with a 1-3 chair wait.
King Pine is one of those "little areas that rock". They dont have a big vertical or lots of acerage but they have a great product thats perfect for families.
