in Nsnow, Snow
That was end of day #4, great way to end the season :)
One more nice storm before the likely end of season for me (due to trips in April)? Yes please!
With more than 30 inches in the forecast, drove up wednesday before the storm arrived, and rode a couple of hours to confirm that there was plenty of snow but it was kinda icy, like I expected it would be. Got to see ski patrol load up a lot of bombs and heard lots of them the next few days early in the morning :) After that, I just ended the day and waited for the good snow ot fall. Thursday, a solid 9 inches, although it was pretty firm and only felt like 2 or so. It was a bluebird, so I used the day to charge my car: Firt run on chamoix was nice, but you can see it's not super deep:
I went to the backside to check it out when it opened:
nice fast run since it was pretty firm:
As usual Fawn Ridge was the best snow on the mountain:
The top of the wall ridge was hard, so I lost my edge, but once in the forest, plenty of good snow left:
Met Eric who did a much deeper Fawn Ridge run than me :)
Then it was time to head out to the back side, usual little line on 2:
I'll leave you with the last Fawn Ridge run, which was excellent:

I never get tired of this view :)
a bit of work get out, though :)
oops, I had to walk out on that run :)
