toast21602 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Oh hello everybody! I got home from work today and the snow really started to fall around 4pm. Made the decision to go up around 7:15 and skied until 9:00. Conditions were great. temps dropped from 22 to 14 degrees while I was there. The wind was getting wild and blowing a lot of the snow off trail, but there were still some protected trails that were stellar since crowds were low. Switchback, Xing, and Dreamweaver held snow very well. The right side of the first headwall off trail on razors was pretty deep as well because of the wind blowing. I took a few pictures to share, but I was busy enjoying the skiing so I didn't take too many. Too bad more of you couldn't make it up tonight because this was probably the second best day of the year (second to that Saturday night storm). I'm thinking about heading in to work for 11:00 tomorrow and getting up to Blue for opening but that depends what happens overnight. gotta watch out for the icy "powder" at Blue during the storm. wtf? and the mountain road going down sucked, but the rest were okay and allowed for 40mph speeds most of the time. 7 Quote

You probably did see me but I have new outerwear. I didn't catch you though. Wasn't really looking since I thought it was a solo night. Glad I made the decision to go up last night and not burn a vacation day today - although if sure does look nice. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 I'd never burn a vacation day for Blue unless it's a rider of the storm day....I hit it and quit it this AM. Got 6-7 really solid runs. The first one down Dreamweaver was a treat. Me, JohnnyLaw and GSS had 2nd, 3rd and 4th tracks down it. Fucking titty sparkles everywhere. Slightly wind buffed which helped it support some weight...didn't feel bottom on Dreamweaver. GSS will fill in with more details but here are some pics.... GSS & my early turns on X-ing.... GSS's turns on the left 3 Quote
