Every picture I seem to see of Heavenly seems to justify the name. I need to get out there given I always have an Epic pass and easy access to lodging at the Marriotts at the base.

It is a spectacular visual looking down 3k+ feet to the deep blue waters and on the other side of the ridge 5k+ to Nevada. All Tahoe does need new storms now as we are still skiing atop what most fell from 2 large storms after Thanksgiving. My 110mm at boot S7's are whining like ignored puppies.

My happy place. Skiing is life!

A couple from yesterday 2/6/2020 at Heavenly off Comet Express on Little Dipper I spent most of the last 2 days looping on my day #18 this season. Mostly long long 1 to 3 stoppers on the 680 vertical feet of bumps all on my 2020 Santa Ana 88's @165cm I've got 9 days on now. I seemed to be often playing with descending funny fall lines as I jump off the direct fall line into next lines over. With the lack of significant snow the last 5 weeks, uglier chopped up moguls are increasingly growing as skiers keep mining away at the firmer hulks underneath and fall lines become bizarro. With the sunny balmy temps, a lot of locals were out in the afternoon keeping surfaces wonderfully loose.

Here's one more bump image I just processed but looking down a set of smoothly rounded sine wave moguls that talented rec bump skiers can ski through amazingly smoothly and turn almost anywhere with the same seated stacked orientation. I ski moguls because I'm addicted to the fun visceral dynamic bouncing feelings, oscillating wonderfully rebounding back and forth, left to right, to and fro, over and over, much like skiers get on groomers arcing carved turns but more focused to a distinctive varying pattern of slope shapes. My epicmix for 2/6 shows I road Comet Express chair 17 times that was over 10,000 feet of fall line moguls.

On this Little Dipper thread below, the fifth image below the top has a lift riders downward view of what beautifully shaped moguls looks like that evolve beyond the smoother sine wave shapes.

Week off finally means week of xc skiing in xc ski paradise in Pustertal in Italian Dolomites Weather is perfect and more then 300km of daily ready tracks should keep me busy, and super happy, for next few days

How pleasant

 

[Bad Bob]

Not a good picture but a very interesting day. Kept trying to catch the sun shining through the fog/clouds but too slow normally. Also showing is some classic 49° North crud being ripped up by another massive Saturday crowds.

Tori dragged me out for a quick skin up sunrise bowl at... not sunrise. The snow was probably the worst I've ever skied. If you could call it skiing.
But damn the light was worth it.

A rare sunny day on MT Hood at Skibowl. My grandsons Archer and Hunter, and my son Scott. Hunter is particularly happy because I mounted the GOPRO on his helmet.

Is it just me, or did you just miss a Star Wars ship or something flying out of the picture to the left?
