5:45 am this morning, standing in front of Legends waiting for the airport shuttle, watching the snow coat everything, all I could think was "I'm a fucking idiot for leaving this early."

Blowin' and snowing down to the bottom of Big Red at 4. Tomorrow could be good.

Stupids and Chainsaw were still awesome.

Sleeper day fer sure, they should keep the t-bars closed more often.

Looked like more than 3cm up high today:

Did you ski down to the flat and realize you're hangin' brain in front of ~200 people?

Today, me. Alpine reset tomorrow?

There's been a lot of days this season where Showcase/Glacier opens a day after everything else. Stupids bootpack was closed, too. Excelerator's still on diesel. Dunno if "parts are coming from...

I'm batting 2 for 3 on that line. I was so gung-ho on ripping it top to bottom on the GoPro I didn't think to speed check at the entrance. Figured trying to hold on out the fan would be better than...

Still the best day of skiing in my life, despite the camera-losing tomahawk and biggest core shot ever. If the GoPro turns up I'll post the crash so you can all have a good laugh.



I think I...

Bubble chairs are for when the gondolas are busy. :D

Spanky's stayed closed. Got in two awesome GE laps and called it a day, crowds are annoying. I guess the days of blower right into the valley are over.

Can anyone tell me the name of the trees directly above the Unsanctioned entrance? Access from the top via Garbo? Watch for many death cliffs, yes?

Awesome snow from Excelerator up. 3rd or 4th into Pakalolo via the low traverse from Glacier Chair. I've never seen it that smooth before, blew right by the ski school group standing at the top...

Lots of smoove creamy windbuff in the alpine today. Cold, too.

blah blah blah snow is deep

Here's some unsolicited chestcam stoke from today:

Fuckin' right, everything to about the top of Heavenly was smooth and soft. Does anyone have details about the slide that closed 7th Heaven in the afternoon?

Anyone else watch the helivac out of the glacier today? Snow was awesome crowds were shitty someone slayed this line yadda yadda yadda.

Snow and vis were good in the alpine today. Dunno if any fresh was reported but the wind buffed everything out into a real nice carve-able surface. Seems the drunken Aussie gongshow was limited to...

Pre-rain crust

Sunny patches in the alpine were wicked today. West facing stuff was loaded. The crust in Bonzai trees finally killed my bindings.

No pictures, but I assure everyone today was delicious. Breakin' trail into reservoir trees and fraggle were definite highlights. Still dumping in the valley :D

Pull up beside 'em real quiet as they're on the opposite side of the track, get low, laugh at their near crash into you or hip-check 'em when they do run into you. Also works for anyone hitting...
