very nice by never seen this to bare in february
silver lake just before kirkwood was so bare and still had water
Carson Spur was pretty bare
turns out the snow can been to be pretty icy
made it, though :)
Monday
The storm sunday night arrived very late, so by monday morning, Kirkwood only claimed 2" of fresh snow by 07:00 but the snow was non stop from here on:
nice but not very deep
it was still quite bare for february
later in the afternoon, it looked better
by end of day, it was better and the ice underneath was easier to avoid
Tuesday
By tuesday morning, it was a full on whiteout storm, about 40 inches claimed:
vis was great :)
went in line for cornice, but it ended up not being safe to open
so I went to solitude, not my favorite in that much snow, though
which is why, so much snow and no slope, this happens :)
time for dogs to play :)
the wind was fierce
Wedmesday
The wind died down a bit, vis improved, snow did not stop:
dude, where's my car?
waiting for snow safety
by 11-ish, cornice opened and it was stellar
chamoix
don't stop :)
I didn't listen :) waist deep with board, chest deep with shoes
Thursday
No, the storm was still not over, and vis was still poor
first chair was around 10:00
took dedication and frozen hands to taking a picture :)
Friday, finally blue bird
After 4 days, we finally got a blue bird day with another 12" or something:
by now the roads opened and more people came :)
no one dared going in there, you'd get sucked in and stuck in no time
nice pow
still great snow
I made this track, then got stuck and had to walk back up, duh!
took a little while
all this got tracked before I got to the top :)
but I found some good tracks, still
oops, I got greedy again :)
but it was enticing :)
chair 2 opened the next day
this was chair 4, not quite ready yet, haha
Carson Spur was a lot more loaded
snow went very far down, all the way to Volcano (past Pioneer, just before Jackson)
