Short but fun travel day session for me. Being the jackass that I am I ended up, first run, on a double black "extreme" run called forest. Probably not the best choice for run number one but skied it semi ok...Pics below. Did a few more off the silver queen chair...more tame stuff, until close. I can't wait until tomorrow to ski the full day. This place is awesome.

Amazing afternoon. Barb hit up some bump runs off of the Teocali lift while Dan and I rode the T bar and took two runs on the North face (double slab and north face). Awesome experience back there. Very steep open rock face areas with lots of nice pow stashes still. Some very tight trees too depending on the route you take.

North Face. Goal of the day for me was to not eat shit on the t-bar. Goal accomplished. Some real nice stuff off north face. Steeps, trees, rocks, and chutes.

Day 2 for me in the books. Damn, what a nice day. Oddly enough, it sounded like today was going to be a wash based on what sounded like rain overnight. Woke up at the house to 2” of pretty dense snow at the house. Snow on the mountain was a lot less dense and made for some terrific runs in paradise bowl first thing, and skied around a bit there and kept getting some nice untracked runs.

off to East River lift to play in some trees i found yesterday, which were  pretty much untracked.

this is when we split off from Barb, before meeting back up for lunch. Went up the North Face lift which is a t-bar. Here you will find some really interesting stuff, you can take many routes, trees, chutes, and some open faces.

Snow in the North Face was nice and soft. Make no mistake though, you will find rocks available for a base grind almost anywhere. 
tomorrows activities will include some stuff off the high lift, i think, depending on what todays sun does to the snow in that area. Looks like the reset button gets pressed sometime tomorrow when the snow rolls in, and should continue into saturday i think. 
 

after lunch we ran some groomers over to the umbrella bar, and relaxed in the sun. A quick easy groomer back to the base and right on the bus back to town. 

no lunch pic Doug, but we are taking Barb out for dinner tonight, so maybe a few snaps latter on tonight.

Was a great day today! I remembered that epic keeps your stats so I looked it up and I got 17 runs in, which is much more then I usually do. The legs don’t feel too beat up but my stupid broken foot is talking to me. After some ice it feels better hopefully tomorrow will be ok.
