Doesn't look as steep as Tower Three at Jackson, but that may just be the camera. Why would you bother with coverage being so thin? Just to say you did it? You're just begging for a snow-snake to grab a ski and toss you. Rumor has it they even lurk in Burma woods and they're nowhere near as steep, just ask@tarponhead Definitely a doer given enough snow. Looks like fun! I imagine it's like Devil's Fiddle at Killy. It's never open, or well covered, so when it's in play you're just compelled to ski it regardless of how bad it is. Didn't find anything too bad in the Burma woods, but the Lazy woods had some sharks for sure. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post AtomicSkier Posted Tuesday at 11:50 PM Author Popular Post Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:50 PM Well, Rambo is open, and I checked it out (from the bottom). It's pretty damn steep, but too late in the day for me to get up there to do. I didn't get on the hill until 2:45pm, but the weather was *perfect*. Like 38F when I left the house, and low-mid 30s on the hill. Snow was perfectly chalking to fucking rip some turns for an hour. Sorry to get repetitive, but it's just so fucking nice ripping big groomers with nobody around after a day of work. Really does bring a smile to my face. Even got the #1 parking spot. I know @Barb always takes the bus, but late in the day I don't want to waste any more time than I have to, and I can ski right to the car at end of the day. 10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll get it washed when I'm in Gunnison next week. Even the inside barrels of the wheels are coated in mud/stones. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AtomicSkier Posted Thursday at 06:27 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:27 PM Sorry, didn't post yesterday, just had a big work project go production yesterday so had some clean up to do. Only skied for about an hour, but it was another perfect day. It's so refreshing to crush some sunny groomers at the end of the day in mild low 30s weather. Great way to end the day. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
