Nastar Finals Winter Park. It snowed, it snowed, it snowed and its was sunny down bottom.
We arrived on Thurday. 54 in Denver. Snowing like crazy at 9000 feet at the base of Winter park. Parties and registration was the thing of the day.
Elevation was abit of an issue to us right off.
It snowed a good amount about 8 inches up top of the Eagle wind Chair and Panorama Friday. Tree skiing is just amazing there. The sign said top ten in the nation for it, I believe what I read.
My wife and I raced in the am and got in the trees with the Family after lunch We hit it right. skiing above tree line and then coming down into nicely spaced trees was amazing. It snowed off and on up top, mid 30's at the base beautiful sunshine during the day. Good snow high up.
Friday night it showed hard and Sat it was still snowing. Nastar Racers got Early access to the lifts. Sat we had first Tracks every where till about ten thiry. Eagle wind was just un real. Again temps in the 30's in the sun at the base off and on squalls up top. Teen up there and below zero with the wind chill.
Sunday well its snowed again only a few iches in the morning and then it went nuts in the afternoon, Complete white outs. Up top you could not see your gear at your feet. skied until i could not walk and then skied more. Got to the bottom sun was out and 35F.
Monday we were ready to ski, but the pass to Denver was closed so we had to take the long way back to Denver. 4.5 hours. Love when it snows and you have to leave casue its snowing.
Ow yea Mrs got 3rd in the nation in her division and I placed ninth. Kind of the reason we went. Well run event. We had a blast. Family likes Colorado
