That’s a big sign A-Basin is going independent.
Breck got skunked compared to the forecast, but it was still really nice. I checked the snow stake at 6am, saw a dusting on my deck, and went back to sleep. By the time I walked the dogs around 8:30, it was nuking.
Got a half day of solid fun skiing. Southern Cross, Minecrotch, Window #5, Doors, Boneyard, Way Out, Peerless Trees.
^^ Minecrotch. I swear it's steeper in person!
^^ Window #5, aka "Humbug from A Basin, all growed up"

I officially love Copper's moronic snow stake placement. And also knowing where to go. I didn't get out til after noon, and xx ft from yy lift, one of my favorite stashes, found legit knee deep (and my knees are high -- that should be a bumper sticker), completely untracked. A few laps there and then just enjoyed the rest of the afternoon til the fingers got too cold.
He choked to death.
I farmed about 5 passes down In the Mood off #8 and I had a tough time finding my previous tracks. They were almost completely refilled.
But, yeah, top of 8 was brutal, but the goods were mighty fun. I finally had to leave when it was time to defrost...
Then I want back out and lapped 4, going over the cornice into the deep pockets below. Then fun powder moguls below.
P.S. And once again never saw @nay on the Fatypus. You would think it wouldn't be that hard, but I guess it is.
I would say the deepest stuff I hit today was about at my knees and I had plenty of "chest pounding" from the blow back. This storm came in warm and the snow was a bit heavier than typical. Not blower, but tons o' fun.
I also finally got some laps on A-Bowl, OTR, and Cats this season. Couldn't resist the fast laps on the high-speed quad. It's such a new concept for LL.
Oh, and chair #9 never spun. So if it goes tomorrow, some lucky skiers are going to get some fantastic stuff. I bet some lines might be approaching 3 feet! I'll be back on Sunday for the bluebird day. I know places where the freshies will still be found.
I couldve used some of that!
But can't complain. Skied most of the morning with no one around and it was good. The 122's were put to good use.
I couldve used some of that!
I can show you where, but then I'll have to kill you.
Yeah, well people with short legs get to ski more knee deep and thigh deep pow could be a bumper sticker.
Not having a snowboard wide ski on each foot helps as well.

Oh, it is.
