Day 6 - Amazing soft groomers (with deep lines) perfect for hero turns. Skied 1 hour under blue bird sky before heading to work. Wish I had been on a snowboard this morning.

A different story for this evening. Ice everywhere! Hopefully some new snow coming later this week.

Try to watch Ski Carving 2 on Ytube prior to hitting a soft groomer. It will change your approach to soft groomers and free your mind.

Had a great evening boarding rip on the hill with Antonios. Shredded hard from 7 - 10pm.

There was definitely gnarly ice patches, as to be expected. But were easily avoidable, with lots of very soft sugary snow around to get traction on.

Sky chair seemed to be the nicest smooth runs to ride, as it had less rookies cutting the snow into huge ant hill piles all over the place.

Unfortunately no good night tree riding, as everything non-groomer was rock hard ice. Still better than sitting on the couch though! Plus...that view never gets old :mrgreen:

Day 7 - Scored a skiing session on 4cm of machine POW under sunny sky with Jerry and Lisa (snowboarding). Fun, fun, fun

I’m jealous. Would have joined you if I didn’t have the “cold from Hell”. Should be good Wednesday morning too.
