Is it Wednesday already?

Alas, equipment trouble kept me off the slopes Monday and Tuesday.  Super excited to have made it back today!

Word is that Monday was super empty .  Tuesday was one of those sleeper miracle pow days where Sugar gets dumped on like twice as much as anywhere else (17″ on Tuesday morning!), but everybody said visibility was tough.

Today it snowed lightly all day, but without brutal winds or much accumulation.  A decent number  of people having fun out there, but still midweek so no lines and lots of fresh turns.  Fuller’s and Silver Belt are open now.  Had a ton of fun in the new terrain, as well as my old favorites Sugar Bowl and Strawberry.

Alas, Strawberry isn’t what it used to be since they took trees out and shoved a shitty groomer in the middle.  But hey, I’m not a hater, I do still like the new Crow’s chair.  And if you don’t, hey, do the hike with me while Crow’s chair is still closed this week.  🙂

Don’t forget to keep it safe out there!  Coverage is good, but it is still the early season, so things aren’t always as filled-in I expected.  Also, the snow came in suddenly and wet, so there’s lots of running water.  I had to do more than one sketchy stream crossing.

Looking ahead, Thursday looks to be mostly clear, and then another small storm is rolling in our way on Friday.
