Deer Valley 3/12

Conditions: powder
Weather: twenties and snowing
Gear: skis

Another incredible day at Deer Valley! I've been very lucky this year and gotten a few awesome powder days there. It absolutely dumped from 10 to noon. Killer powder in the trees. And it kept most of the crowds inside, so no lines! It was great.

I'm not going to give away all my secrets, but there really is some great skiing at Deer Valley. You just have to know where to look for it. If you go, enjoy!

PS Thanks to Eric for the ticket. It's great skiing with you guys.

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

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!

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.
