Conditions: powder
Weather: COLD - low single digits, clear skies
Gear: K2 Recon Riser snowboard
Damn it's cold! So this latest storm (9" or so) was followed by an impressive cold front. Temps at the resort today were in the low single digits. And that's before the wind shill factor. It made for a cold nose, but the powder was definitely worth getting out in.

I had a decent run down Double Jack. There was some nice powder on the edge of the trail. But things were still a little scraped out between the moguls. Same on Hoist. I'm glad we got this last storm, but another 3 or 4 feet would help. :)

The trees off Hawkeye weren't quite as nice as I had hoped -- still too many little branches poking up through the snow. But there were a few nice turns to be had. I continued to McConkeys where I made a few runs before calling it a day.

If you go, remember to bundle up! The Freestyle World Cup is also going on at Deer Valley this weekend. If you get a chance, go check it out.
'til next time,
