Deer Valley 12/24

Christmas Eve at Deer Valley is becoming a bit of a tradition. No new snow overnight, but still a nice day to get out. It was the first time I got to ski the new terrain on Lady Morgan. I think it just opened on Saturday.


(Top of the new Lady Morgan Express.)

Lady Morgan is a brand new high-speed quad that opens up 200 acres of awesome terrain. Previously you could get to some of this via a hike off Empire, but most of it was out of bounds altogether. There's something for everyone off the lift, from a nice green (Pearl, Webster) to a nice blue (Dakota), plenty of bumps (Magnet, Argus, Hillside) and some awesome new glades (Centennial)!


(The next storm rolling in.)

Though the line never got long, it was obvious that everyone wanted to check out the new stuff. So, I alternated runs there and runs off Empire. There was still some great snow in the bowl. I met up with some friends for a bunch of runs on Empire and Lady Morgan before taking a lunch break (yummy turkey burger).

Unfortunately, the winds pushing the next storm into town were a bit fierce and enough to end my day shortly after lunch. But not a bad way to spend the day before Christmas. Enjoy the holidays.

'til later,
