Sweet. I have an 8.5yr old, she’s not as good as yours but working on it. Almost ready for some bigger sticks but she’s still mostly groomers.

I have an older daughter who is 14 now and this younger one is skiing better than she did at same age. Older one refused to correctly pole plant for years whereas younger one happily followed my repeated (like a broken record: pole plant, pole plant!) instructions. Makes a difference, though the older one is really good now with her own smooth style ... as long as they are having fun!

I heart night skiing
(though the GoPro anti-shake technology is challenged by the low light =
first world problems...)

Those x106's are amazing! We've had pretty stellar start to the season for sure!

Was waiting for you to bust those out. I liked the very end when you were really opening it up. No banter in this vid. About time they open the North Face?

Yeah I was waiting for a real good day to get on those and yesterday provided! Those skis are interesting because they are actually the lightest in ones in my latest quiver but they are the fattest too. The first few runs the snow was so deep it was hard to really judge any of the ski characteristics as any ski would've wallowed around a bit. But they were obviously real surfy and fun as heck, being designed for that type of snow.

As things got tracked up I kept thinking I was gonna find some sort of deficiency but even on the hard pack they tracked decent and were a joy! Thanks again!

No banter, first video of the season with just music. (ya wanna know why? the copious amount of powder had plugged the mic on the go pro... lol )

OMG I'm ready for North Face at this point.


At this point I have no complaints as Ive been skiing knee deep powder for a week straight now ...!

East Turnagain Arm-
Including the cities of Girdwood and Portage
1016 PM AKST Fri Dec 22 2023

...STRONG WINDS, RAIN AND SNOW THROUGH EASTERN TURNAGAIN ARM...

A strong front moving into the Prince William Sound tonight will
bring strong winds, rain, and some heavy snow to the Eastern
Turnagain Arm. Expect gusts between 35 and 50 mph at road level
overnight and into Saturday morning before letting up to 15 to 25
mph through Sunday morning. Snow levels will rise through the
night, resulting in rain falling on snow covered roadways. Expect
slushy and icy conditions to develop. The Girdwood valley will be
slower to transition to rain, but similar slushy and icy
conditions will develop. An additional low pressure system moving
towards the Kenai Peninsula Saturday evening will bring a period
of heavy rain to sea level locations. Ponding on roadways and
hydroplaning are possible due to heavy rain and snowmelt near sea
level. Snow accumulations through Sunday at sea level range from
5 to 10 inches, and are highly dependent on the transition to
rain.

It was fun to be out there as the next storm rolled in on top of us!
