Conditions: Powder
Gear: K2 Recon Riser snowboard
So the dump that gave us 18" on Monday continued into Tuesday. I didn't make it to the slopes on Tuesday, but was lucky enough to get out on Wednesday. What an awesome day! Because the snow was still falling on Tuesday, the patrols weren't able to get all the terrain cleared. This meant that Wednesday there were fresh tracks to be had all over the place.

I headed up to Solitude for the day with my snowboard in tow. What a great decision! The snow on Summit was absolutely incredible and there was no one there. Actually, not many tracks at all. Check out this pic: the only tracks you see are mine! All mine!!!!!

The snow in Honeycomb was also excellent. Again, very few tracks and great snow. I kinda wish the chairlift back there would take you up to where Summit lets off so you could just make runs in the canyon, but oh well. Maybe someday. :)

What a lucky day. Tons of new snow. Blue skies. And no one else on the mountain. Perfect!
'til next time,
