12/24/ 24 Early Christmas

[AirheadD8]

Arrived at 8:51 Driving was a bit more sketchy than I anticipated. Temps in mid 20’s . Dress and dash. 
 

There was a line on the Challenge express so I headed to the quad . Well the quad was delayed so back to Challenge. I wanted to hit Razors and it didn’t disappoint.  I hit the quad hoping for some quick runs on razors but it stopped 3 times. I watched Razors get carved up so I hit TCS and it was barely touched. As I got to the steep section I set my edges harder and could feel some cookies. I hit the side country up top and noticed the ditch was looking good just after the top section. It was really nice and I just hung there for the rest of my short time I had today. Bailed at 10:15
 

Shout out to the kid with the motorcycle helmet and the Rossi’s older than mine.He did a great job ripping the ditch. Also Santa was there and he was on his game!

I had negative time but the first runs were the best of the year.  Little crunchy under razors but main was a dream where you can just attack attack attack.  

Around 10 it started to get busy and razors and such didn't hold on well but main I thought was definitely worth getting chewed out and.......

Main St continues to exceed expectations. 

I don't think they need much more snow to get everything open. 

As expected, Nmdw did not open at 10. Tbh, didn't look that great anyway.

Planned on only sticking around until 11 or 12 but kept going until 2.  Lazy was great first thing as was Main.  Happened to be going down Paradise when I saw the rope gone for NWDW.  Cookied up in spots but still a lot of fun. Happy to finally get on Freefall.

Got a couple hours in to close the place out.  Wasn’t crowded and the conditions were pretty incredible with the warm up.

There wasn't any point fighting the PASRs for Razors, so we jumped over to get Coming Soon first thing.
Of course, some boarder ski patrol just HAD to pull out their fucking entitlement card and rip the fresh from edge to edge, asshole!
Nonetheless, first run down was a nice, fresh coating on top of packed cord.   Even felt a slight float on every elongated turn.

First run down side of Razors there was still enough fresh left for a fun run.
Subsequent runs down there were patches of ice coming through, so you had to be on your toes, literally!

Like other, Main Street was wonderful, as were the sides of pretty much every trail, having the fresh pushed out from the middle.

Spent the morning tooling around the mountain with Santa as one of his cheerful reindeer.

Merry Christmas all!
