Dec 12 and 13, 2009

First two days on the snow for 2009/2010 season. Got a seasons pass this year. Last weekend I hiked around Burnt Ridge and took some video. Looking forward to checking out the new Burnt Ridge glades once we get enough snow.

First two days were great. Sunway first, then we Greg and I rode Topridge most of the day. Topridge was in really good condition, especally with the sun shining on it almost all day. Some powder down skiiers left which was real fun. It started to get chunked up so I rode the middle which was soft and carvable from the sun. Last run we hit Showcase and that was also in good shape with some fresh MM powder. Good last run.

Sunday was sunway/quicksilver, back up gondola to Topridge a bunch of times. Still in good shape but some bare patches today. Still early season. Took a break then came back to Topridge some more. Finsihed on sunway, but hiked up to the old gondola mid-station and struggled down the gondi line and walked back out to Sunway. Will hit the gondi line again once we get lots of snow. Should be nice, steep and clear. How many Shelter stickers can you count?
