Great sport watching that race. He smashed his second run.
I always love seeing that big sticker on his helmet!
Made a couple of laps at bachelor. Best skiing were the sides. Soft & carvy. Hit all 3 lifts and out of there.

I don't remember if that tingling feeling is a boner or just how winter storms make my heart feel. Telemetry shows 3" last 24.

A little wet-n-heavy for the base followed by some lighter stuff... looking good.
Finally a base builder for the smaller mountains!
I wonder if the Doo can pull a crew together to do cat driving on Friday for a soft open on Saturday? Do they have a winch cat? The new stuff is coming in heavy but I make no fantasy about what it takes to cover up season ending logs and stumps.
If there are any other young newborn/toddler families here who ski the Doo or WP, hit me up! We have a 1-year old and I’m on board with the ski every other 90 minutes plan, but my wife hates skiing by herself - so I’m trying to find her some partners. Meeting other families doing similar trade off duty would rock!
I also plan to do some waxless tromping around with daughter on my back, while
Wife is skiing inbounds, leaving from the Doo/WP parking lots, but again, wife hates skiing by herself.
Happy Turns
It’s good up here today... filling in! Couple inches of moderate density snow on crust in the sunny spots, boot deep wind transport elsewhere. Love the hissing sound when you get enough speed to float in this kind of snow.
Ptex was donated in the name of snowpack assessment... the fresh base grind is no longer fresh.

Sweet core shot under the boot. Atta boy.
Yeah but think about the free detune your edges got.
As the French say, "les classique detunes naturel"
This year the Dew will have an open race course for those that are into that sort of thing. More than likely Fri-Sun. Also City league racing Friday nights.
tv/radio media claiming 18" gonna drop in govy today...hmm...ECMWF saying half that
looks cold until monday across models, so that's positive
maybe do some cursory blue turns Sunday...(!)
Today marks the official 1 year anniversary I got stuck on Blue. Thankfully Blue is not spinning today, otherwise I probably wouldn't go skiing.
