NMSKI Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Today was great. Was snowing all day but visibility was rough, and a bunch of the backside was closed due to avalanche control on kachina. Bombs were going off all day and I heard a slide that was so loud and lasted for so long it was spooky. Skied a powder lap on Al's which was sick, then did snakedance which is as long and steep as Al's but a natural half pipe. Hiked a bit to high line and did Juarez. Skied Lorelei trees and it was so deeeep in there. Meeting my buddies tomorrow so today was a solo day hence no action shots but lots of scenery. Lorelei trees Highline ridge Cornice I dropped Juarez Edited February 24, 2015 by NMSKI 9 Quote

Popular Post NMSKI Posted February 25, 2015 Author Popular Post Report Posted February 25, 2015 Day 2 started out nice and sunny with some fresh still to be found on the sides of everything that had been open yesterday plus they dropped the rope on the backside which opened up miles and miles of powder runs and really fun trees. Stayed back there pretty much all day. Kachina still closed they better open that shit soon. Strapped on the go pro for some vids which I'll post when I'm back at a computer. Snowing a little bit now in town hopefully we get a little refresher up high tonight! Mostly scenery pics early today. Was good and I just couldn't keep stopping to take out the camera you know how it is. 11 Quote

Johnny Law Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Looks like fucking ace snow dude, nice Quote
NMSKI Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Posted February 25, 2015 Sickest fucking day of my life quite possibly. Kachina opened at 9:30, first time since the 20 inches, it was unfucking believable. We lapped it 5 times then took a break. Found some nice chutes up there I'd never skied. I got some sick go pro for later. After the break I hit the trees and hunziker bowl to high noon which was still almost untracked. Just got done skiing castor/Pollux which is a 45 degree continuous 800 or so vert tree run. So beat but going back out for one last helping. Snowing again. pics tonight! How's the new lift?Sickest fucking thing ever - especially on a pow day. 9 Quote

toast21602 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 jealous of the countless titty sparkles that spanked your face today. 1 Quote
NMSKI Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Posted February 26, 2015 After my break I hit some of the trees on the backside, then did Longhorn which is a mega leg burning 1500 vertical extremely steep run on the front side with no bail out once you're in the gate. Did a couple more runs just kind of poked around looking for untracked snow. My kids are in ski lessons and my daughter is really getting it after 2 days. I rode the bunny lift with each of my kids once to finish off the day. No kachina lapping pics but like I said video coming soon. 8 Quote
