It was cloudy and foggy in the morning, and looking real grey. Then the cat broke through the cloud band and up into the blue sky and sunshine.
Luckily the guys from SPY were in the cat with a box of new goggle lenses to try out in the sun.
Did I mention that there was 20cm new snow out there? How about no wind?
We were on our second run by 9:30 am today. This was also a new record for getting out skiing early in the morning and up skiing the same time as anyone who went
to the resort would be. The only thing is, we were not on a chairlift! yeeeeeehaaaaaaa
By 12:00 we were at 12000 Vertical Feet, and counting. They said they wanted to go fast and rider hard, so we did. I even saw a couple guys having a nap in the cat
on the way back up the hill.
2:15 pm, and time for one last hard charge down a 3000 vertical foot run, just to make sure the boys had ridden all they could ride we tried to do it without stopping.
The end of day total.......18000 feet. A new record for us, and another "best day ever" for the rest of the crew.
All in a days work here at Powder Mountain.
