RidgeRacer Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Just got back from another excellent day at Jackson Frost . The theme for today was packed powder and cold smoke. It was around 8 degress when I got there. There was no wind and a bluebird sky. The snow was a perfect packed powder corduroy. Everything is in excellent condition. I made my usual laps on East. River Shot had a nice layer of man made snow on top that was like butter. Floyds was a carver's dream easily some of the best runs I've taken on that trail all year. I then went over to Challenge / glade. There is decent coverage but the second headwall is still lookin' a little rough. It's best to enter it down below to the right of Challenge through the trees and down to the East Mt. lift. The snow at the bottom of the glade to the lift was like silk. Top Part of the glade Took a break to warm up, got cheese fries...(just another reason to love JF by the way...they don't charge for the cheese). Then it was out to the One park glade which I did a few times. Then back over to East where I hit Floyd's and River Shot a few more times. But this time I stopped on River Shot and beared right on the final head wall into the Elevator which was really fun (I think thats part of the Elevator). I did that a few times and called it a day. Today was easily one of the top three of the season. I can't wait to get back tomorrow. Edited February 11, 2008 by PA Ridge Racer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 i see evidence of a Pocono Shuffle in that first picture... or maybe its a Pocono Slide... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) The Pocono shuffle is tough to do on Floyd's because you pick up so much speed. I tend to carve wide turns on it (when it's not groomed). Edited February 11, 2008 by PA Ridge Racer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdaddyk Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Bear right off of lightning, to Floyd's, with no turning PA Ridge Racer...I'm envious of your schedule that you can do most your skiing midweek/mid-day..when it's not crowded. So am I. Wait, mine's all week, first thing in the morning . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
