You know Kyle, I look up to you.

I wish I'd known you were there!

I suspect we crossed paths in any event. Next time perhaps.

Exterminator/bull run area was essentially untracked at high noon. Lacked the hard crust underneath that 6 did. Bear pits-excellente! Finger crossed for tomorrow, I keep thinking I'm getting my last pow day of the season......and I continue to be wrong. Yelled at Kyle Miller today from the lift...

You should have called or texted me as I was riding solo all day

bear pits was $$$$

Team Wally and I hooked up around noon and hit the upper downhill/upper k2 off of chair 6; left angle trees, and some other goodies. Cold--in the 20's. Snowed all day and the snow was light and relatively dry. Visibility was a major issue. The rain from Sunday seemed to really help smooth out some of the bumps.

Also got to try my new Atomic RT86 skis (169 cm) with Baron bindings. I was amazed at how well they float in the powder. On the cat tracks and flats the tips seemed squirrely. Have to really work to avoid the tendency to get thrown in the back seat and keep the shins against the front of the boots with this setup.

Bear pits was indeed terrific. I found left angle trees nice up high, survival skiing below, but we hit it early and the additional snowfall likely improved it. First tracks all over the place!

Looked for Team Wally, but never saw those cool pants.
