POV TR - Aly After 2 Days of Torture

**hartzejr** · 12-15-2011, 12:42 PM

Torture is such a relative word. It was torture when Aly was closed this past Sunday because of high winds. I was hoping for a free refill day. Then I planned to play hookey on Monday to ski and the immense amount of snow had avalanches and power outages shut down the mtn. So Tuesday it was. 36" of wind blown and a 1pm North Face rope drop. Unbelievable day after two days of torture.

Nothing fancy, just a great day! Hope you enjoy some stoke which is severly missing from the front page!

As usual, blasting the audio is suggested.

Solid, beauty section through the virgin trees in the second half.

**Chugachjed** · 12-15-2011, 05:36 PM

I totally should have blown off studying for my final tuesday! I'll be headed down in the morning to make up for my horrible mistake. Hopefully this system stays productive.

Cracking up at the beginning with the inclusion of the 20th century Fox Flute song from the Padded Room thread. Nice video.

No way you would never get ahead in life by blowing off finals. You made the right choice.

Noice. Glad someone was out ripping the trees if had to be stuck in a windowless office all week.

Heard It was one of the best days in awhile.

Dude, I'm a history major. Getting ahead in life isn't really part of the plan.

**hartzejr** · 12-16-2011, 02:45 PM

Yep, rope drop at about 1pm for TNF awesome. My priority, hit those newly gladed trees and book it to the tram before line builds.

Then after that, in the tram shot, you can hear the dudes say
dude 1 w/ stoked kid: "best run of my life"
dude 2:"that what I was going to say"
dude 1 w/ stoked kid: "It was like a heli run"
dude 2: "It really was"
stoked kid "..." *ear to ear grin

Flute song, when I heard it I knew it was going into one of my POV edits. shits hilarious.

Let me know if you head out Jed (or anyone else) and want to lap a few runs or down a few brews at the Sitz some time.

please tell me that was sarcasm (oh wait, i see the double negative)

skiing 36" fresh powder=getting ahead in life.

I don't know how Alyeska was today but Hatcher was knee deep to mid thigh and light and fluffy. Also the light was beyond flat (even by AK standards) even had some whiteout. Very nice.

**raisingarizona13** · 12-18-2011, 02:12 AM

YES! That was sick. Winter is happening somewhere at least!

**carpathian** · 12-18-2011, 11:58 AM

One week later:

Groundhog sunday, ripping wind, heavy precip, late opening, no outer areas, power outages. Night skiing tonight could be sweet. Monday, even better...

**userA** · 12-18-2011, 06:39 PM

bump because this is rad and jongs are fucking up pg. 1

**Alaska Skier** · 12-18-2011, 09:24 PM

Looks like it might be a few days before they reopen due to a power outage.

**flyman683** · 12-19-2011, 01:41 PM

Website was claiming 1pm open earlier this morning. Waiting on my boots in the mail is getting absurd.

**hartzejr** · 12-19-2011, 02:09 PM

10:45 Aly ski hotline update gave me a boner and sapped any motivation to work.

25 degF and 36" up top
High T probable
Initial TNF assessment has opening probable
Clear skies!

Boss just asked what I'm still doing in the office...

**carpathian** · 12-19-2011, 02:22 PM

GTF down here asap!

**Chugachjed** · 12-19-2011, 05:49 PM

I'm coming night skiing tonight. Couldn't get out sooner...

**carpathian** · 12-20-2011, 01:40 AM

Good to ski with you Jed!

Here are some pics from the early afternoon:

11:30am Not too many people lined up.

At 12:30 they let us up the stairs and there were way more people BEHIND me!

Christmas came a week early in Christmas Chute!

The Facet is steep these days

There's Weston keeping an eye on poachers. There's Xmas up in top centre. Good skiing for sure!

**powdork** · 12-20-2011, 02:01 AM

nice.

i guess.
if you like skiing pow and stuff.

**carpathian** · 12-20-2011, 09:24 PM

Came in heavy around 2pm again today. Free refills til 5:30. Knee deep behind the rolls on South edge to South face Cancelled night skiing due to high winds.

Powder wednesday anyone?

**hartzejr** · 12-20-2011, 10:01 PM

Prolly be out late tomorrow, the man is bringing me down...

Ohhhh, I knew today would be a sleeper day of sorts. All the chumps show up for the big reported day and totally miss the day after. Yep, I'm one of those chumps.
