Nice article here: https://snowbrains.com/camelback-mountain-skiing-in-may-2026/

Local kid. Glad he's not mine. Terrifying. https://www.powder.com/news/parkin-costain-cadence-volume-1-ski-edit

Day 75. Closing day. Made my days goal and my vert goal (exceed last year). It was a tough season for goals. PXL_20260405_183156148.mp4 PXL_20260405_185108626.mp4

Day 74. "Skied my age." Visibility was okay under the fog layer. Conditions weren't as good as I'd hoped. PXL_20260403_192959864.mp4

Cold cold cold. Plastic boots were a revelation. When I think of the absolute misery of leather boots, and, oh, the elastic straps you had to wrap around your ankles before ski brakes, and, oh, the bindings that used to grab a metal plate on your boots? Cannot believe how easy things are today.
-
My most used are 84's with 2 layers of metal. They got a lot of use this year. But remember I started skiing in leather boots and straight skis. So 84's are mid-fats to me.
-
That should be day 73, not 72. Skis are 98's. Want wider ones, but generally there's only 2-3 days per year that it's an issue.
-
Day 72. About 6" of dense, heavy snow meant every turn required thought and I wasn't going to drench my hands and gloves with taking pictures. Got a workout.
-
Day 72. Enjoying yesterday's leftovers. First tracks on Hell Fire in the AM.
-
Oh! Today is the 19 year anniversary of the day I slammed into a tree at high speed and shattered my wrists. Glad I didn't realize that until now
-
Day 71. Now tied with last year. And we got snow! Nice parting gift from Ullr transformed the place. PXL_20260330_193612147.mp4

Day 70. Trying to hang in there to meet my goals, but a day like today makes it tough. Most of the hill is iffy, tons of hardpack, chickenheads, piles of sugar, FLAT LIGHT, etc. Even though I love empty, flat light cancels that out quite a bit.
-
No I have to start getting ready for an Alaska trip in a few weeks. Time to convert ski muscles to hiking muscles.
-
Oh yeah, I also will easily finish in the top 100 of the vert list, and higher than last year. Mostly because the rest of the locals are so disgusted with the season.
-
The goal is 75. The heck with this ski your age stuff. My vert goal is iffy-er. I'm hoping just to surpass last year. Conditions this year, ugh.
