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!

The final stretch of the countdown has begun... next Wednesday we'll all be taking the lifts again to get our vertical on Mt Werner! 

It's been snowing for two days here, (currently smack in between 3 consecutive Winter Storm Warnings!) and on top of the snow that's lingered from last week, it's building an amazing base for next Wednesday's opening of Steamboat!  The heavy stuff, and a lot of it. Steamboat is reporting over 60" already! We're certainly jealous of those locals who get to hike it first, the stories have been epic already. It's going to be a great opening!

With Craig on the mountain four days a week at his new Program Director position for STARS, you should see a lot more of our monoskier, bobbing in and out of the snow. 

We'll be posting more videos this year as well as photos, so stay tuned for a big fat season of In The Deep!
