The Rivah - 10.23.10
Soooo, that was a long day! Left K-town at 545 this morning. woke up to a half inch of new snow at my place and there was a coating all the way to the highway. roads were pretty slick in spots. almost 4 hours later we get to SR. bluebird skies, but pretty chilly and windy. could see them making snow still but heard the guns were turning off. riding up the chair people were caked in snow and said it was pretty good. the top felt more like winter. it was a little slick crossing the chair and to the first roll, but after that it was good. soft man-made snow, some bump lines here and there, a couple steeper pitches. at the bottom was a couple rails and a few "natural" jumps. not many people at all, never waited in line. did some laps, went down, grilled lunch, then went up for a few more. by the afternoon it had warmed up, got less windy and the visibility was great (see last photo). very impressed with what they are doing over there, keep it up!
oh yea, some pics...
