So it's been a rather busy winter. The biggest story for us has been several ski trips. I'm likely to clock 15 days this season. That may be chump change for those living near the hill, but for some one that came into the season with four days lifetime, I think i'm doing pretty well.
I'm heading out this weekend for Timberline, OR to ski with Zach. Kirsten's gotta work. Otherwise Kirsten and I have done all the other trips together. Peter also was able to get a couple days in with us as well.
We started out at Big Bear, Sunday, the day after one of the biggest snow dumps in 20 years. Epic, for Big Bear.
Next we headed up to Tahoe. Northstar, Alpine Meadows, Homewood, and the photo is on Sunday from the slopes of Homewood looking out onto the lake. Yeah it feels like your going to ski right into the water.
Next we went to Colorado. Breck, Vail, A-Basin. 3-6 inches of freshies each morning. I set back my bindings 3/4 an inch, and adjusted the angle + a couple degrees to max out the pow. Sometimes it was so fresh I would just keep riding, and sinking, and riding, and finally lose speed cause it was over my knees. Wish we could have spent more time in Blue Ski Basin at Vail, but with the fresh snow, runs like steep and deep were no fun for Kirsten on her racer ski's. Also at Breck I took my first double black. Fun, but I take all the terrain so slow still, a hard blue or easier black still my favorite for now.
Three days at Timberline this weekend, all for $109, thats the cost of the spring season pass. I guess the snow was not the best so far this year. Still a 130" + base and fresh snow fall in the last 2 days, I'm ready!
Were back to Tahoe again in a couple weeks, likely same locations. We like those places!
And finally, back to Big bear to close things out. We have some discounts for the day pass we need to use.
