That's Sheila! (The dog) her and here step sister Daisy love the pow almost as much as their daddy Sick Rick. We hung at the top of the gondi...he headed over to Nosedive. Nice pics. Great day!

I think we saw powderfreak skiing down Nosedive as we starting skinning up. Yellow jacket and 8000s... wasn't sure. I was gonna call out but he skied past us by the time I connected the dots. Sheila was really loving the pow and completely covered in white while running through the drifts, very cute. Though she was really cold up at the Octagon.

Definitely had a big grin on after the first pitch of National. Skied a nearly untracked line skier's right with some really nice turns up top where no other skiers had gone since I had to cross some thin cover to get in... but once in there it was great! Those pictures make the steep part of National look extremely flat.

damn that is Upper National. When I read what you wrote and looked at the pictures, I thought you said you were skiing National, but I was thinking about the lower part and that it looked nothing like it do to trail width and short trees. Indeed the photos make upper National look extremely flat...it was because of that that I didn't even think it could be Upper.

You're definitely right, that's the best that trail will ski all year. It's pretty much boiler plate 95% of the time.
