Report from February 5, 2023

It rained at the base last night.

Quite a bit.

So we slept in today.

Duane made pancakes.

The skiing wasn’t great yesterday so we expected it to have gotten worse with the rain, wet snow, and high winds.

We were wrong.

Dead wrong.

We got out there at 9am and the lineup for KT-22 was pretty big so we hit the base to base gondola.

I skied the West Face trees that first run and it was damn good.

Creamy, wind-pressed, smooth, fast, fun.

From there we just stayed on KT and milked it.

Tom’s Tumble, Dead Tree.

I didn’t have my helmet camera…

I went home and grabbed it.

Then I met up with Owen Leeper and shit got real.

Owen always ups my level of skiing no matter where we are.

We started dropping cliffs.

Ahhh Chutes, Tombstone, Ice Goddess, Dead Tree.

We eventually got tired and went up for a Broken Arrow lap.

It was OK up there but the real goods were on KT so we went back.

There was some real carnage on The Fingers with people losing gear and hiking out and being rescued by patrol and big crashes and humans digging for skis.

I think we should leave The Fingers alone and let them fill in for a storm or two…

I got tired and had to come in at

about 3pm.

It was snowy and cloudy and windy all day.

Today was a surprisingly great day with an insane crew.

Veronica, Charlotte, Haleigh, Owen, Nate, Chris, Alex, Dwanis, Alan, and more.

Thanks to all of them and thanks, California!
