Crystal - 03/21

Thought there would have already been a post this late....So my view - Gotta say as is pretty typical for me – Very Nice Day! Arrived a little early – early enough to get on a stop and go CHex chair, early enough for a very nice sunny (filtered at times) day with big views, lots of easy early nice groomers, very light crowd for a Friday, and some very very nice untracked pow runs down SunnySide and Memorial Forest! Wanted to mention that to some folks, but they were on their own mission….expect it was great also. Pretty much hamstered the day, paused long enough to check CB lodge and socialize around there. The new snow was nice and deeper than announced in many places – So how was it Mr Fireman? – you need to post some comments. Was it a good day today Joedabaker and ……? Saw some pretty big nice turns out south of the King, noticed a lot of really big lines on the King and Campbell Basin and PB that would have been really big fun. Think there most have been some fun lines out North…I know my hamster world was very happy from M-World to REX chair line…

Other – Soup was Calif Medley left overs, fair crowd in CB lodge, A lot pretty full and almost well parked, C lot maybe half full, B lot cars to the shuttle stop? Great day lots of sun, lots of great snow, lots of fun…wish I didn’t have to leave so early….oh well…

When the first couple runs felt pretty funky, it turned out I just didn't have the right rhythm for funk. Once I found the rhythm, a lot of fun ensued made perfect by a deep blue sky and awesome views. We abandoned great grooming once I found the rhythm for soft new over a slight crunch off-piste. Afternoon sun thickened up the unconsolidated areas – it skied good today, but will be nasty till warm for the next few mornings. Crystal is running all the chairs and Gondy at slower speeds but still never had a lift line.

 Saw some pretty big nice turns out south of the King, noticed a lot of really big lines on the King and Campbell Basin and PB that would have been really big fun.

So an honest question with nothing but good intent...
I recently inquired with some troller gals about what options we had to access south without 6. They were pretty clear that the only option was the normal no lift option, skin up quicksilver and into silver.
Are all these "big lines," especially in campbell and PB, really being access this way?! Or  is the info I got bad?

........There were some really deep in bounds pockets today...and a lot of great skiing.........the 2 -3 that fell last night was some of the lowest density snow of the year, if you could find the spot that was also untracked from yesterday, then you were skiing 6 inches of rocky mnt quality snow.Now if you could find spot that was not skied on monday......well that would like really deep, really cold, really sunny.....till really late

Actually the only "skied" lines I noticed where way out south(King and farther - nice appliance turns a day or two ago) and required skinning up...the rest of what I said was places that would be incredible if Crystal would allow it "legalley". But then there is always liability rules in bounds....

What you said DDK plus two untracked runs thru gate 9 after it opened, very good light snow until sun baked it up. That the fireman input.
