3/6 afternoon

[tarponhead]

Really good conditions. Fast and groomed nice. Some marbles here and there but good for most part.

 

No bumps on chute or challenge. Nightmare looks icy. Barney's reseeded and they r awesome albeit small. Seeded them tight! Should help in delaying boiler plate.

 

Indiggio come help me ski them in!

[toast21602]

Glad to see it's still good. Low crowds this morning. Fresh cord everywhere.

[indiggio]

Looks like they blew snow as it's nice, soft and grippy, no granular.

First run down Vista, Midway and Main Street. Snow great and no crowds. In search of Tarponhead.

Down Tuts to Main Street. Gorgeous!

Beeline run down Challenge, nice and soft with some marbles thrown in.

Awesome. I'll be there for an after work session to ski off the mass destruction that occued at shady maple smorgasbord this afternoon. My goodness

[AtomicSkier]

So will I. What is your ETA?

[indiggio]

Run down Barney's. Surprisingly hard, but no boiler.

630ish

[indiggio]

Switchback was fast and empty, bit of hard pack coming up through.

[indiggio]

Razors was very fast. Caught dome nice air off the rollers & head wall.

 

Big crow fight on ride up. Looks like one eating other, just below My Little Mermaid tree...

[AtomicSkier]

630ish

 

I should be on the snow by 7pm.

[RidgeRacer]

See you there. I'll look for you

[tarponhead]

My Little Mermaid tree...

New fav. Better than the new bra tree

[indiggio]

Dunno but they were really going at it and there were a few spectators squawking in the trees.

[Schif]

I saw a porcupine under the lift at Montage yesterday.

[toast21602]

i've never seen one in the wild. just a zoo. that's kinda cool.

[tarponhead]

Snowbird has a few. I think the hill eateries feeds them for tourists

[indiggio]

Legit 18 run, 4 hour session. Wish I could do it every Thursday!

 

And helping to keep Blue open by having overpriced beers with Tarponhead.

The first time I ever went to montage I saw a lot of porcupines, but never saw any there again

I saw squirrels under 6-pack.... Edited March 6, 2014 by indiggio

rode the lift with an old couple today who were arguing if they were squirrels or chipmunks... one of the worst rides of the year.

Should have argued with them and said they were Jackelopes.

I had to intervene and give them the correct animal.

That's why I wear headphones. It also helps on the weekends

Evening edition: conditions were great. Rode for 2 hours with JohnnyLaw. Conditions are prime race conditions. Skied off manmade + razor sharp edges makes for a ton of fun. Razors, Paradise, Dreamweaver and Lazy were all great.
