RidgeRacer Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Today was so nice I had to break out the camera phone...blue sky, great weather, perfect conditions and no crowds. It was a perfect ski day. I pulled into a quiet parking lot around 11:00am after what may have been the busiest weekend of the season. I found a decent spot booted up and hit the mt. Needless to say the snow was in excellent shape. I decided to make my first run down Lehigh then over to the "gateway" to East Mt. Made a number of runs on River Shot and skied off the right side of the last headwall into the gully in between Floyds and River Shot (The Elevator area) a number of times which is a lot of fun when the snow is good. I just hung out there for a bit River Shot from the lift Skier's right of River Shot It was then over to Floyds which was a sheet of ice. Of course the sides of the trails were the place to be to avoid skidding out. I then made my way over to Challenge and the glade which was realy nice. Entering the glade from the midway point on Challenge is the way to go. The best snow in the glade is down there all the way to the bottom to the East Mt. lift. I found that it was best to ski through the little ditch that's been carved out due to all the skiers/riders and to make turns on top of it. After Challenge I finished up on River Shot and the rest of East and called it a day. Challenge Glade Another great day at JF. Quote
Ski Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 IDK, PARR, it sounds like you had great snow and an awesome time and I'm not just busting your nads, but I'm not sure they'll be requesting those shots for next year's brochure...is that a garbage can in the second pic? Quote
Justin Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 I've been wanting to ski some East Mtn. for a while, it's been 3 years. Quote
snorovr Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 JF is pretty cool in that they have some big mountain type stuff that they open up. No other mountains in the area besides Elk have that kinda stuff that you won't get your pass pulled for. Quote
Ski Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Don't be hating.. I'm not. I tried very hard to tease him in a nice way. You could say I was loving on PARR...PARR is a cool guy, but the pics seemed sort of 'Blue under the quad-like'.... Quote
method9455 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Those are the covers for the snowmaking valves but I don't know what one is doing down there Quote
toast21602 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 somebody made a barrel bonk? maybe? Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Posted February 27, 2008 I'm not. I tried very hard to tease him in a nice way. You could say I was loving on PARR...PARR is a cool guy, but the pics seemed sort of 'Blue under the quad-like'.... Lol...definitely no offense taken Ski. The pics didn't come out all that great. They did look better on my phone's screen after I took them. Quote
