2016/03/23 Very Dry Powder Day at Kirkwood
π 2016-03-23 01:01 in Nsnow, Snow

things still got tracked quickly...

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 :)
