JF 3/11

[saltyant]

Placed my bets on JF today and it was just OK... not Grate like on Tuesday. They must have groomed after some snowfall because the snow on the trails was about half as deep (3") as the snow in the parking lot (6").

Got there at 8:00 sharp and immediately hiked the steep hill to the Expert Lift (eastern side) for a nice fresh untracked run down Floyd's. It was grate. Then met up with a friend of a friend, who is now a friend, and we skied an untracked River Shot which was amazing. Those were the only 2 untracked runs really. It got crowded faaaast and by 9:30 there were about 100 people in line. The A-Lift was INOP for the morning which made it exhausting to traverse to the western slopes, which were less crowded and skied just as nice as the X-Pert slopes. We left after 2 hours since the short runs and loooong lift rides started to get boring. Also the snow wasn't deep enough for glades like Happy Land. All in all an OK day at JF, JAD-IP.
