OK someone needs to take the iMovie away from me. I was starting a Brackett Basin video and wanted part of the traverse in it. Realized that was ridiculously long and ended up with this ...

Haulback Saturday was nice , sun helped.
Turns with Bro...was his first day skiing this year...so ...I showed no mercy.

Where those first bumps as big as they appear on the video? I need to try and make next years trip. This just started at the end of my family week's vacation!

I don't remember too much straight out ice on Misery Whip, but there were definitely some short slick sections. Rip Saw had legit blue ice on it though, mixed in with slick hardpack, powder, and condensed wind drift snow. It was challenging, but fun. The Whip was much better though.

I loved Ripsaw maybe the narrowness of Misery Whip caught me off guard.

Sweet!
I just figured out why they call it Haulback....you can really Haul back to the lift!

That's for sure!

100 people coming down Gondi line would be quite a Vid.

That would be interesting. I think that was my favorite trail of the weekend.

Thanks to all the mods for a great weekend.

Yes , 3' would be my guess and a couple had no symmetrical downside , just little cliffs
But we're soft as marshmallows,
Sunday ,like day old mashed potatoes

They were drifts that got skied in, so some of them had some 3-4' drop-offs.

Wow is more bumped out in the afternoon. I did not ski the left side, but there were nice bumps there from the looks of it.

I almost threw up! The whole hoofing it part seems like too much work.

It wasn't a ton of work, but there was absolutely no pay off! The top part of the area we hiked up to was wind scoured crap. By the time we got to good snow we were down to an area we could have traversed to without hiking...

The left side is where all the drifts were, just like on Haulback. The snow was soft and fun over there.

Bet you only did that once then! :beer:

I think if we had been up for another 10 minutes of hiking or so there would have been a good payoff.

Yup!

I think if we had been up for another 10 minutes of hiking or so there would have been a good payoff.

We probably should have given it a shot...

Were there any ski offs?

 

[MadMadWorld]

Were there any ski offs?

I wasn't there so unlikely
