Hi all, just wanted tell everyone how insane today was. not only was the pow way deeper than I was expecting, the weather was crazy their was a lot of people at Jay. the conditions were near blizzard like with heavy accumulating and blowing and drifting of snow.
I showed up at the tram side parking lot to see huge drifts and cars and gigantic buses getting stuck in them. the only upper mountain lifts open were the red chair and the jet triple, so there were some pretty big lines. at first I was bummed b/c it was a mad house and I hate crowds, I also had no real idea how much snow their was and I expected it to be really blown around and wind swept, I was almost happy I had to be at work in a hour and a half.
once I finally got to the top of the red chair I decided to take a short hike up to JFK and ski down to tram side which only had the metro running in hopes to escape the crowds for a little bit. I was not expecting to find waist-stomach deep pow with mind boggling face shots on every turn, but thats what happend, and here it was one of the busiest days of the year. now I was totally amped and trying to realize the serious fluff I just skied and now I was mad that I only had one maybe two runs left before work.
one of the cool things about today was the vibe in the lift lines and in the crowds, nobody really seemed to care about the long lines and everyone was happy. their were so many weekend warriors who have had to deal with horrible condtions this year, it finally paid off with a pow day of epic proportions.
I Imagine a few of you were at Jay this weekend, you couldn't have hit it much better. I would have waited in that long line all day if I had the chance. sunday should be even better with all of this non-stop hammering and a few less people.
