If someone can point me in the direction of a crail-grab trick tip vid for tomorrow please do!

I guess it's easy enough, pop and grab the nose with both hands while boning out the tail?

Crail isn't a double handed nose grab or a cross rocket. Back hand to the nose.

Like this guy says.

Here is an appropriate graphic

Any updates from on the hill? I was hoping tomorrow or Thursday was going to be the best day, but it looks like the storm might be petering out?

Today was pretty awesome. Made my way across the front side. Dropped China, blue skusky, sun up and game creek. They all felt like 8-12". The wind loaded shit was crazy. Blue sky was deep..... knee to thigh with loading on lovers leep as well as steep and deep.

Ill be back for more tomorrow. It was blue skys today but started snowing around 3, its still snowing.

Also. I still was getting fresh tracks at 1 just before work...
