Kirkwood has just opened 5 days prior and didn't have a huge base, but had enough to ski on. It's just that all the creeks were not coverd, so some places had difficult crossings.
Arturo suggested that we go for a day trip given that we had to get our epic passes for the upcoming Europe trip. The fact that they had 19" forecast didn't hurt either. Sadly, this turned into only 7" the rest being rain. Still 7" is better than nothing :)
chamoix was dicy at the bottom
still a few rivers
the wall looked enticing, but was only open to ski patrol
hopeful people, like me, but it didn't open
the drain was bad
more stream crossings
And that was it for the day. Not my best day at kirkwood obviously, but a good enough day for early season. Tnanks to Arturo and Louis for getting us there. |
