Good turns were had up high again. Run down to Hanazono was awful. Chicken heads everywhere. Good coffee, muffins and croissants in the new day lodge though

Heard it was good all over with the new snow and snowing most of the day. I was resting the legs for bigger and better

But WAY more on the hill.

Took my first turns of the season into Super Ridge and skied two runs that were some of the deepest and lightest snow I've ever skied. Untracked and nip deep. Solo mission so no pics sorry.

Beg, steal or borrow time off tomorrow and get on the hill.

BIG WEDNESDAY
