Marc's Public Blog - Skiing / Snowboarding / Snow

lots of people, lines for getting food

the wall was pretty tracked out, but not that much snow at the top

The forecast for overnight snow went down to 6", but thankfully Kirkwood got 1ft, nice!

eagle bowl, not open yet

got more snow refills during the day

I went to the back side when it opened:

fawn ridge delivered

the line wasn't bad

I definitely got some good rides that day:

a later ride on fawn ridge:

Day #3 was a bluebird with pleny of pow left:

saw a heli land at martin point, not quite sure why

As a first (for me), I used half the day to hike two peaks, starting with Thimble Peak:

the other side was nice, but a bit bare

After Thimble peak from chair 4, I went to hike Glove Rock over palisades. As I expected, by the time I got there (15:40), the temperatures went down and the top crusted, making the ride down a lot less satisfying:

you have to hike far to see those signs

nice view of the back

it was spooky to ride on the other side of the ridge, away from the resort

I then rode the ridge some more

and afer another warning, it was time to ride back down

I wasn't the first person to do this :)

And that was it for day #3, very nice conditions, and snow that was good until 2/3rd of the 3rd day.
