WHAT UP SKIERS

Just got back from the mountain.   Great day of skiing today.  The snow was still great and not a lot of lines.  It stayed cold most of the day, so the snow should still be good tomorrow.

Went on a few new runs today.  I usually stay out of the trees because my skis are hood and don't handle the fluffy powder like these new skis.  I did hit up the Monument and Sugarpine Glades today.. they were a bit rough and torn up...looks like we need more snow!

Check out the map here and see whatelse Northstar can offer.

They also have a sick park.

Check it:

Thanks Northstar for making me happy!

Yoyo

So I woke up at 8 a.m. this morning and was like the only one on the mountain this morning.  It was pretty awesome.  The snow was great, the weather was perfect (aside from the fog that hovered all day in the central valley).  I skied mostly Backside and Lookout Mtn.  These areas tend to be way less congested.  I also hit up some of the easy blacks on the front side.

For tomorrow I recommend Prosser, Martis, White Rabbit (if open), Stampede (glades), Iron Horse, Challenger (if the race is over), Burnout, and the front blacks Dutchman, Delight, and all those other little ones are fun to bomb when you start to get tired.

I stayed away from the jumps today, first day skiing in a while, gotta get loose!
