Wow what a powder morning today. First two runs down Bowen Face and in-and-out of the trees set the tone for our state of happy exhaustion. Spent most of the morning doing the steeps on Raven Ridge, then wrapped it up with a few off Sky Chair. The grand finale was Top Gun with the softest bumps I've seen there this year. Need some couch time now, in case it snows again tonight!

Day 56 - Epic POW day. 25 cm on Raven Ridge under sunny sky. Like 3 blind mice, Marc, Rob F and I searching for Black on Black but instead snowboarded down Black Fly and Meteor. First time this season, hit every un-groomed run on Raven Ridge (First Sun, Black Fly, Meteor, Coyote 7 and Olympic).

Big smiles on Benito, Marc, Rob F, Rob W, Doug, Bob, Jerry, Clay, Brian and Mokka

Still dumping snow up there. 26cm since 10 pm (so far). Had to quit when our legs gave out. Thigh deep in the trees beside Bowen Face! Needed a push to get out of our parking spot!!

Day 57 - My favorite POW day of the season. Excellent WTF'er turn out (Doug, Rob W, Roxstock, DB, Jerry, Clay, Bob, Bandito, Rob F, Marc, Brian and Mokka ...)

After 2 warm up runs on Eagle we moved to First Sun, Black-On-Black, Coyote 7, Crazy Raven and Olympic for epic knee high pow.

Oddly, I would alternate sharing the Raven Chair between Mark (Roxstock)+his friend Rob and Marc B+Rob F. Fun making introductions ... Mark meet Marc ... Rob meet Rob F
