Park City Mountain Resort 2/26

Conditions: hard pack
Weather: forties
Gear: snowboard

Another beautiful day! Not quite as blue sky as yesterday, but a little warmer. A very nice day to be out.


(Porcupine Ridge from the base of Silverlode.)

Pretty much an exact repeat of yesterday. But this time on a snowboard. And with some friends from Atlanta. Thanks guys.

Not nearly as crowded as I thought it would be. The President's Week crowd must all be flying home today. Glad I'm not at the airport!

Park City Mountain Resort 2/25

Conditions: hard pack
Weather: upper thirties
Gear: skis

What a beautiful day! I've had some pretty good days this year, but many of them have been in snow or under clouds. Today, the weather was *perfect* !!! Beautiful blue skies and nice warm temperatures. Awesome.


(Top station of Silverlode.)

I started with a few runs on Silverlode. All groomers. All out. Plenty of fun.


(Bottom of Silverlode.)

Then I met up with Pete, a former colleague, and we made a few more runs under Silverlode before heading over to McConkey's by way of Single Jack and Thaynes. Comstock was in great shape - groomed overnight and just slightly softened by the warm morning sun.


(Me.)

We had a few nice runs off of McConkey's including a run through the bumps. They were in pretty good shape - not quite as hard as I had feared. We wrapped up the day with a run down Silver Queen and lunch at El Cubasco.

Not a bad day at all.

Park City Mountain Resort 2/18

Conditions: hard-pack, dusting of powder
Weather: COLD - near 0 with strong winds
Gear: skis

The word for the day: COLD! It was near 0 degrees with a constant wind -- bitter! Still, it was nice to be out. The weather probably helped keep some of the holiday crowds inside (President's Day is Monday), so the lines weren't bad at all.

I did mostly groomers today. Just laying down some high-speed turns and enjoying it. I did my share of tree skiing in Colorado and figured I'd try something different for a day. Skiing fast can be fun.

Looks like we're in for a pretty good storm tonight. I may try and get up early tomorrow and enjoy the powder.

'til later,

UPDATE: The storm didn't turn out to be so I went back to bed and got some much needed sleep. I'll try again next weekend.
