It was 10 degrees this morning:
The Gondi started at 8:05. Two runs on the front...surface was very hard but not ice.
It was windy, and on Foxlair, Fairview and Pine Knot...there was some sweet stuff on the side.
An impetuous jump into Otter Slide proved challenging. Light frozen mank. Is untracked frozen mank = crud? Or does crud have to be cutup?
My first run in the trees in six freakin weeks - conditions were smooth, I was rusty:
I see Zach coming on to Hawkeye from DoubleBarrel. He highly recommends it. I actually went over to the steeper side of DB next to Rumor. It's the old gondi line. That freakin headwall really cuts down on traffic:
But leads to some softer snow below:
I went to the legal limit in Chatiemac trees. It was the one of the best things today. Great coverage and soft snow:
I took this picture because I could not believe it was FEB 20 when I first got into the Dark Side this season:
It was the best. Under the chair I finally had a run in the groove. I hit it four times in a row:
I kept my eyes open for Pocket Rocket Paul to no avail. I sorta hucked this:
KHS was good.
I hit Tahawas Glades just because. I knew it would be crunchier. Coverage was good, but you could hear your skis. Still worth doing once.
I never went over to Burnt Ridge. I just didn't make sense on a day when all the good snow was up high.
Pretty good day really.
