AirheadD8 Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Sunny cold… 8:45 Made my way to the Quad and noticed the cattle chute. Ok …. There’s going to be some law and order today. Thought I was going to be first chair but someone in Orange blasted past lol, I figured he would head for Challenge but he went elsewhere. It was a bit disappointing later on to see the cattle out of control and cramming up to the front loading area on the quad and the line built up to the gates. The six had very little line to speak of. First tracks on Challenge was the best grooming I’ve seen all year. The icing on the cake was a couple inches of snow that drifted over from the fan gun up top. I think I hit my terminal velocity, but felt safe the whole time and was able to launch off the falls lip with just as good of grooming. Challenge was so good I kept lapping it then went to main street and a little bit of snow is drifted over from sleepy, hollow onto the bumps. Blue Balmer glade was also being blown. Fortunately , the roulette wheel of fate spared me and I didn’t get stuck in front of the gun on nightmare when the quad stopped for a good five minutes. Great day like C1 said. 7 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Nice report, I wonder how many more years the quad will last? With coming soon, it gets used more than ever and it turns 30 in December. 1 1 Quote
DiMe Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Nice!! I ended up hitting Camel for a short sesh today. The lip into Chute yesterday was absolutely bonkers. You could get so much air off it or knuck huck it, hope they keep it that way. 1 Quote

On the super radical Saturday Pow day I got air off the falls a few times. One time the front of my skis were like 3 feet off the ground and the tails were just high enough to clear a credit card..would have looked extra rad shot from a small aircraft a mile in the sky.. 1 Quote
