first chair to last, no breaks. and no repeats. i will repeat a trail/glade but not a line. i very intentionally will hug skier's left/right if i intend to ski something twice. that slog out of west pilot def stole 2-3 runs from me. getting out of that sucked. was great untouched pow til i realized what i had done.

So bear down, middlebrook, kidderbrook still show closed. Guessing it didn’t matter. Here’s the end of kidderbrook yesterday.

This where the old base terminal for the quad was? Trying to picture it. The fact that they are making snow on Kidderbrook this early speaks volumes.

Yep, the intersection of upper kidderbrook, lower kidderbrook, and Churchill downs.

Yes.

Caught the torch ceremony and fireworks last night, good band in the bar.



5” of heavy wet snow last night/today, rained a little, another 5” tonight, should set up the base well. Everything was pretty good considering the past few days.

Yeah that Sierra cement will set up a nice base. Let’s see what tonight brings.

Another couple inches overnight. Got an early start today at the sunbowl,.. kidderbrook, upper and lower middle brook were great, sunny start but lots of wind blown effect on trails as the day went on, some spots down to boilerplate.

Hit untouched glades yesterday and today in eclipse and west pilot. Ursa line got deep by lunchtime , not sure if any other lifts ever opened but I didn’t make it much longer after that.

Very satisfying run, looks like I skied seven of the last twelve days. Our shuttle ran an extended schedule for the holiday week so the ride back with an adult beverage was a treat. Probably won’t get to do that a lot.
