Another bluebird day!


Upper Steilhang 2


Just me today. Started with Quicksilver then Sleighride so I could pratice some carving. Was really laying down some good carves after reading tips all week. Wanted to get over towards summit double chair on the dark side. Hit Lower Steilhang which was ok. Trying to find more glades over there, i think i'm missing something.

After lunch checked out Upper Dardy/Open Pit area. Discovered these glades which are skiers right on Open Pit. Very steep and pretty short, would probably only do again after a snowfall and try to get first tracks. Rode Open Pit several times and enjoyed it. Some nice snow on the left side with nice sun, was able to weave thru edge of some trees. Very fun. Could not locate the Minshaft Glades, though they are over here somewhere. Think I need to cut left half way down Open Pit then hang a right further down.

Finally went over to Chatiemac glades. Cut down pretty soon and found this line....

Chatiemac Glade 4


The landing for the second drop was bad, all downed trees. But the area in general was pretty cool. I think a little more right or left from the top might work. Tons of area to explore off the ridge, just drop down anywhere and see whats below.
