things still got tracked quickly...

uuumh, this was less snow than I expected. I guess high temps have gotten the ridge clear of snow :-/

I hiked up to there, but turned out it wasn't really worth it. Oh well...

then I got my board caught between those 2 trees, fell forward and could not get back up with the 45 degree slope to free my board from the small tree. It took both my poles and a lot of effort to get back up straight and unhook my board...

Arturo then made the right call to go for the backside as it was opening. Turns out we had 6 awesome runs, 3 in fawn ridge, by the ski boundary

not steep, but good snow

we met Elaine, she tried to trick us into climbing 99 steps. Instead we got great powder in fawn ridge with little effort :)

tow rope was running

snowboarded back to the car

Thanks to Arturo, great to meet Elaine there, awesome day.
