Best ski day of Sibby's Life

Well, I knew we'd been dumped on, but I didn't really understand how much. The mountain was saying five inches of fresh yesterday and it had been a terrific day on most trails. They said they got another 6 inches by 6:30 AM and it was still coming. I went up the chair expecting some nice snow.

 

So, I decide to start on one of the backside groomers to warm up. Naturally, my powder skis are on and I look at the board and they're saying just about everything's been groomed. I head down towards this one trail, expecting the six inches of snow to be over some corduroy. WHOA, babe!!! Thigh deep stuff on the groomer!!!!! Face shots if you could get going fast enough. But, since it was a blue I couldn't get going on it and it took 10 minutes to get to the lift. I vowed to stick to the steeps for the day. There was not a "groomer" on the hill, let me tell you. And it was dumping, so by noon anyone who wanted a clear day on corduroy had left. Everywhere I went, at least boot top, with lots of whales of powder thigh deep. Light and fluffy, you just sailed through it. Hit multiple lines down the Face, North Bowl Face, Elephant's, Good Med, Bad Med, Powder Trap, and things with no name at all, just directions to get to them. Last run of the day was CROTCH DEEP freshies on Gray's into some trees, wow! Just wonderful stuff. What a day!

 

I will put together a "March 2008" page later for those who want pictures.

SICK!

 

I think we are done with real snow here for a while. We got 7 inches in 2 days early in the week, but most of the first fallen snow had melted into the snow pack by the end of the storm. It's kind of snowing right now, but it won't really amount to anything useful for the hucks, good trees, or super steep inbounds terrain.

 

Cool you were getting after it though.

Sorry for the delay, the movies all took forever to upload.

 

Okay, these are all taken in the latter part of this month. The file name will tell you the date and where it was. I apologize for the pink in the movies, any time it's low light, this happens. It doesn't happen if it's sunny out. One picture is showing you how empty the chair that takes you up to the resort after you hit Gray's is. The Goat Haunt picture is the groomer first thing this morning. Sorry no pictures of Gray's and the crotch deep blast, I was with other people and don't like to slow them down. God, I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow, but I guess I'm grateful for today and tomorrow is the anniversary of my accident so maybe it's best to keep off the slopes.

Best to hit F11 if the links to go to the next picture are hidden on your screen.
