Robert2 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 The TIMMY bus is BACK. Blue skies most of the day until the passing snow shower around 3PM. VERY cold all day long compared to the past month. The cold thinned the crowd. As always I was dressed like an astronaut with no exposed skin so I never felt the bite of the cold air. I lost most of last winter to a knee injury so for my first day back on the snow I did nothing more than lap POWDER PUFF for 2 hours. There was about 3 inches of groomed powder and crunchy solid groomed cord on the edges. I got a lot of speed out of this tiny hill all day long. I stayed near the edge. Landings with hockey stops blasted the powder. I'll move off POWDER PUFF after I get more strength back in the bad knee. But for now..my philosophy is you make your fun where you can. I was very surprised to find so much powder. It was 50 degrees here yesterday and raining so I sort of expected either slush or sticky mashed potato snow that grabs the board and feels like someone is tugging on your ankles all day. But it wasn't any of that warm weather crap today. It was cold. The snow was groomed powder and solid cord. All the snowmaking fanguns were fired up at 4 PM so it even looks like winter at Jack Frost now. JADIP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
