Popular Post toast21602 Posted February 20, 2021 Popular Post Report Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Another successful PASR adventure. @EdBacon @skiincy Wally @Mixilplix @mbike-ski myself, and Jordan - a guy I know from trail running joined in. We met at the reservoir parking lot trailhead and were off around 8:00. Under clear blue skies and plenty of sun we made our way up an unplowed reservoir access road. After 1.5+ miles and 800+ vertical feet of skinning up, we made it to the top where it flattened at the observatory. Wally was pleased to finally be there. After a quick break for photos and to pack our gear way, we made it back down the access road. The pitch at first wasn't super steep, but as it progressed it got plenty steep. No worries about keeping up speed. The snow on the side of the boot/skin pack was fantastic and there were plenty of little logs and rollers to pop off of. After we got back down, Wally was tired from chasing @skiincy the whole way down so her and @Mixilplix went back to the lot. The rest of us went back up past the reservoir and up Furnace Creek to make some more turns. Jordan and I broke trail and picked our way up about 400' of the backside of Pulpit Rock to get some turns in the trees, and good turns were found. I know some others took photos and I'll let them share them here too... After 5.5+ miles of skiing and 1500+ feet of climbing we called it a day and enjoyed a few beverages in the parking lot before heading out. Everything today exceeded expectations and it didn't feel like we were in Pennsylvania. It is wild to continually get good turns outside of a resort in PA. This season has been a treat so far and it has been a blast enjoying it with the PASRs! Edited February 20, 2021 by toast21602 12 4 3 1 Quote

skiincy Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Great day to stretch the legs. I think that’s edbacon and Jordan in front of me. wallys was loving the snow despite his 😐 face. He’s literally slept on day since. He has the powder legs. at the lookout point. That’s Jordan, @EdBacon, @toast21602, and @mbike-ski And toast about to sending it off the edge. this is the crew going back up to investigate a new route. solid morning. Would 100% do it again if the snow pack maintains. Edited February 21, 2021 by skiincy 6 1 Quote
