TR: No Base, No Problem @ Kirkwood - 02/04/12
Major snowfall would be nice....
Date:
February 4th, 2012
Location: Kirkwood Ski Resort of America, located on scenic Hwy 88 in Northern California
Weather: Bluebird and ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!!!
Riders: Skier666, S.P.C & Supu (so adorable)
Cameramen: Skier666, Supu and S.P.C (loves bass music)
POV VIDEO – No Base, No Problem @ KW - 02/04/12
Music: Gridlok - 'Insecticide'
Synopsis:
A couple days earlier it snowed a few inches followed by the wicked wind from the East. With a bluebird day on tap, new Jag Sharks on my feet, 100% of the mountain and backcountry gates open to tour around, I was riddled with optimism. After a lackluster run down Eagle Bowl giving us everything from powder to glacier ice, pessimism encompassed my mind until we ventured beyond a ridge named after a baby deer. Considering the amount of total snowfall to date, this day was top-notch...
Let's Begin:
Supu left his racks open and lost a pair of snowblades....keep a look out!
North Beach looking stunning for February...
Texting and driving...
Major drifts in the front of the Tahoe house in South Lake...
Nice and cool in Hope Valley...
Zach's was groomed to perfection for warming up new edges...
Supu gets all "Blizzard of Ahhhhs" on us in Wagon Wheel...
Seth finds some 'sorta pow' in lower Eagle Bowl...
Supu gets hella deep...yep, hella
Supu finds the last powder patch...
On our way to check out the sidecountry...
S.P.C gets a nice line...
Supu follows suit...
Did I mention its his first day on skis for the season????
Man oh man is he KILLIN' it....
Diagonal recon....large cliff in middle, need to rappel. Will wait for next storm....
S.P.C finds a fresh ridge....
...and works it all the way to the bowl
Supu finding freshies...
Oh no he didn't....
Yep, he actually found great snow....
666 skis more skier's right down the fin for beta...
Nice and soft....
...such a scenic tour
an AK spine...heh
Supu isn't shy for the camera...
Nice turns down to the traverse....
S.P.C chargin' with an idiot watching below...
West Shore needs snow...
Supu doing his best to make it look TeH EpIc!

Supu sleepy...
But he did manage to get this shot...

Wait, that's not you....
Thanks for putting in work 6. This makes me want to go skiing again."People think complaining about conditions makes them sound discerning, like giving nitpick notes on a fine dining experience. In reality it's just like saying "i'm a shitty cook." -MildBill

Why do you cry about lacking snow if you still find untouched?

I'm using a Contour+ and low profile mount on helmet. Its in the same spot as my old ContourHD and with the new wider angle I need to move it forward a bit so I see less 'goggle'.
Like PappaG said, skis are Moment Jaguar Sharks in a 192cm.
