Second day of the season at the River. Best part of the day was it remained cold enough for snowmaking activities to be going full blast all day. It looks to me like tomorrow might be the first day for North Peak.
Took a couple of runs to start over on Locke, hitting Sunday Punch, Cascaes and Monday Morning, the latter being the best of the three. Even at 9:30, the first two were quite scratchy.
Headed over to Spruce and found the guns going on AMX and stuck to that the rest of the day. There was a solid 4 to 5 inches of fresh blown on top that seemed to keep replenishing itself with each run. While not the real stuff, this manmade 'pow' was pretty fantastic until about 1:00 when it started to set up. Headed back over to take a run down Right Stuff and called it a day having thoroughly tired my early season legs doing laps on AMX.
All and all a good day, except again being shut off of T2 for race training. I think what annoys me the most by it as that they advertise it in the open trails when in reality it is not.
Well, that's it for me for skiing for 2006. Keeping my fingers crossed that my next trip out is met with far expanded terrain.
