IN THE DEEP

The season's first official powder day left plenty of locals giggling down the trails today.  We made first chair on Four Points and beelined it right to a knee-deep Cyclone, smooth like butter with two tracks down its rolling, silky glade.  Despite not remembering to switch out Craigs Tiger racing ski for the Bro powder ski, we had no incidents with a buried mono- the snow billowed over his head, leaving a 30 yard cloud in his wake.

Next we headed up Storm to hit the Face, meadow, and Sunset, all barely tracked, also knee deep, and buttery. The snow is super light, with 12• temps overnight, the conditions have been kept intact.

After a top-to-bottom Buddys our early season legs were toast, and we took one more lap down Storm Rainbow and below, making it down by 10 in time for a full days' work!

It wasn't snowing but it was socked in above the saddle, and is  supposed to start snowing again this afternoon, as well as some more on Wednesady and Friday!

-See you In The Deep!

Made our first turns down the hill today, just as another storm started rolling in. Thunderhead is closed until next week, so we mounted the Gondola instead of the lifts around 10:30 and headed for Storm Peak.

Buddy's, Rainbow, Storm, Cyclone, all in great shape with a thick base, soft, and carvey. We stayed up til about 1, hitting our favorite groomers but staying out of the trees; Craig sunk down into the bottomlessness just above Cyclone- save that for a few weeks, buddy! Much of the hill is still closed, but soon enough it'll be open for tasting!

Passing the big open clearcut above the terrain park was a surprise, even though we'd seen it in the summer it remains something to get used to. Much needed removal of dead beetle kill brings exciting new terrain!
It's been snowing all afternoon so back up tomorrow! Welcome December, its supposed to snow until then!

-See you In the Deep!
