Be careful on those North aspects...did some after work laps up at Hurricane and found that despite warm temps in the day the N facing stuff was still really light and dry. The bummer being that there was absolutely zero bonding to the crust and we were able to kick and cut some significant, fast running slides on terrain that wasn't much more than 30 degrees. FYI.
Edit to add:
This picture confuses my eyes. It's like FIS meets Escher.

Well I hope you do enjoy it Being off of many people's ski-radar must help a lot. Areas with good terrain under a 2 hour's drive from a major city don't stand much of a chance in that respect.
I've been to a few out of the way resorts that get shredded surprisingly fast, though.

Crystal actually was good on Friday. The wind reset the snow in places and it was light and dry and nobody was there. We went to White Pass on Saturday and skied the tree areas on the front side and had untracked boot deep powder the whole morning. We went and toured off Hogback ridge in the backcountry and skied 4 different bowls and had the area all to ourselves. I will definitely go back there again

Yeah, I was surprised at how good WP was on Saturday. I probably skied right next to you at some point in those tree areas. I was wearing an olive green HH down jacket and some khaki pants, skiing on Hellbents. Sunday wasn't nearly as good. The pow turned into crap, but the corn made the day fun.

You were one of the 5 or so of us. I had a red Mammut coat and tan pants on. Good stuff for sure

Check out this guy at Mission Ridge. This is the first season I and my ski partners have seen him here. He's kind of a wing nut.

There are a lot of hidden rocks under those lines. I had a buddy a few years ago that had to get heli evacuated from MR after landing on some rocks in that area. He shattered his hip and almost got paralyzed.

Know that guy...
Amazing recovery all things considered.

Just about every line through those rock bands, you will hit rocks no matter what the snow depth. They used to be better until they reshaped bombers and move a lot of rock around, now....just nasty stuff.
Props to the guy skiing them!!!

I remember that, wwsra demo days right? Most people look at the Bomber cliffs and only see 5 skiable lines. All of them end in a minefield of rocks, if you come screaming out of the chute, best control your speed. Jared seems to think all the dead ends go too. I really like the spine line he skied skiers left of Hourglass chute. There is some pretty spicy terrain at Mission if you use your imagination.
