Hello skiers,
The only thing I can say about the skiing today was that it was fantastic. Snow fell again last night piling up another eight inches powder for this mornings opening bell. Additional snow fell all morning covering tracks as fast as we could make them. Visibility was variable, as were the winds, but the snow was perfect and crowds were out of site.
I had the best run ever in the Chute that Seldom Slides off the Scott Chair early in the morning. We had first tracks in the uncut powder and turned our way down the chute and through the trees in awesome snow that flew into our chests and over our shoulders. Gentian was slightly tracked when we hit this peaceful slope, but still offered plenty of pristine fluff to make our hearts pound and our lips crack into big smiles. Off to Sherwood, my new favorite chair. Uncut in the trees down Standard Run on way to Sherwood offered more deep fluffy turns with the exception of the first three turns at the top which were a little rough as the wind may have blown snow off this section of the ridge. For the next two hours or more we rode up and down the fast Sherwood lift, along with a handful of other people making turn after turn in consistent foot deep powder. Yelling could be heard in the distance on occasion from excited powder hounds, but it was mainly a quiet peaceful morning of unending fresh turns on the South Face slopes of Sherwood, in the trees of Sherwood Forest, down the very deep snow of Expert Shortcut, and over the windswept slopes along the power lines heading to the base of the chair. I have had a number of calls from people that were on the hill all of whom claimed today to be the best day of the year. Office mates, other delinquent realtors, and everyone on the hill today all agreed it was epic, fantastic, awesome, and even more than words can describe. Tomorrow should be another great day followed by days of cold dry powder that is supposed to be coming our way.
Enjoy your day. Andy
