Went up for first chair this morning. Ended up going up with some patrol friends since we were there so early. snow was really suprisingly nice. Lunch time and my legs are jello. deep and dense snow. super fun riding though..... The entire front range and their cousins all showed up now too. more people parked here than a holiday weekend. They are all suckers and went to chair 5 and chair 11. We already had that tracked up by 930. finished tracking up lionshead side when the crowd showed.....


dunno why my pictures keep showing u as attachments and not as the image itself.... oh well

It looks like my little snow shovel will be used on my windshield again. I went out to get my snowboard from my truck for some waxin and there was a big mattress on top of my truck.

I hope The Basin did a shitty job plowing because I get the best parking spots when they do. It's been crowded. Monday I was able to get super close by parking in a spot deep with snow.

Not sure I've ever seen this type of blower pow this late. It is LIGHT.

8 is still money. Good stuff still to be found in the trees off of 6 and 4 too. About another hour and a half and I'm out of here. This might be my curtain call this season. If it is, it was a damn good one.

Probably the best day of the season at Bert yesterday. Ran the Plunge, lift gully, Rock Garden, and Floral Park yesterday. It was deeeeep!

On a side note, stuff is ridiculously filled in. Rock Garden is almost plowed garden. All of the drops, some of the usually 10-15 feet are covered. There are lines in the huge cliff band that I have never seen filled in. Right now I think there is more coverage than the 10-11 season at this time. Looks like the warm up is here now though.

I was at the Basin early this morning. 4 inches was accurate. It was deeper in some spots. I was told it was crazy dumping in Breck early this morning. It was not doing the same over here.

I left really early because my butt got wet from sitting on one of the chairs. The conditions where not the best, it was the dreaded fluff on crust. I bet however they have improved since it's been dumping now.

This is so lovely. Last season the basin was already closed by now. I can even go into the good ol' North Fork, which was closed off most of the season last year.
