Awesome afternoon. Elevator and  Nash gates gave me six runs of untracked face shots in 18-24" light powder.  Perfect knee therapy!

Low definition video to remind us of one skied out Elevator run: vimeo.com/62047251

Don't think I skied better conditions there ever. First tracks on Dom, Adrenalin and Snake Dance, plus off Draft Dodger (x2) in the pm. Went to No Fog on the second pass and only one person had been there. Lucky him. But it was my turn to go first in our group. Never skied it in such conditions. Amazing skiing today.

But alas, though I looked, I did not see Silas.

Oh yeah. The corned beef was excellent too.

What a day. Chair 1 loading at 8:30, CH2 and Elevator close to 9am, HighT a little after 1pm, and another 9 laps top to bottom of untracked on the Mofro fresh snow only diet plan.

Nice to see you out there taking care of the knee by staying in the soft snow Silas!

nice session for me & lil green bug to learn @sluff management in a controlled environment. fun snow to ski!

Just one more report of an awesome day. 4 E gate runs for me and my son before I had to head home to take my daughter to a softball game. Missed the upper T, glad you all got it!!!

Definitely one of the better days at Alpy, great snow all over!

One thing to note. At 1245 during a brief sun break while in line at chair one, I saw a huge cloud of snow coming over from the falls on Snoq. Mtn. Looks like a pretty good avy happened since the wash/cloud came over us like a big storm for about 15 seconds. No one seemed too concerned, but I was searching the falls sight line and below for any movement. Anyone else see this and know if anyone was caught in it???
