2018/03/14 2.5 days of Muchos Powder (6ft) at Kirkwood

π 2018-03-14 01:01 in Snow

I had been watching the weather forecast for a while, and drove to kirkwood just before the storm turned from rain to snow. I got there with my Tesla 90D in just 3h30, including an 18mn supercharger stop in Manteca. I ended up arriving with 10% battery left in record time, just as the rain was turning to snow:

Day #1 was nice and had a bit of sun to help see the nice powder. Almost everything opened that day, so lots of terrain with not too many people:

Day #2 didn't have sun for long, lots of good snows and self refilling tracks, but poor viz, high winds, and very cold:

everyone made a run to the Wall when cornice didn't open at 09:00 when it was supposed to

Day #3 was more difficult. Very cold too, snow storm most of the day, and kirkwood couldn't get stuff opened. They only opened 6 after a never ending 2H wait. The first tracks were nice, but open terrain was very limited.

2h wait to finally be allowed up a limited section of chair 6, that was disappointing

very hard snow, no more pictures

The drive back home was challenging :)
