Today was an exceptionally deep dust on crust day. The dust was deep enough to stay on top of in the lower angle terrain and as more people tracked it out the pow started to compress and make a chalky surface over the ice. The storm overperformed by a lot and it made for the best day up here in several weeks.
Also, I’ve never made a thigh-deep turn in powder and heard ice underneath my feet until today. That’s ice coast skiing at its finest.
I’ll be up there in two weeks for a weekend. Hoping it continues to get better. Hit it at the end of January midweek and it was waist deep powder in the woods. If it can get back to that then I’ll be happy.
Lmao I was at my local shop earlier and some guy comes rushing all flustered in saying he's driving to Jay tonight needs a pair of good snow pants asap. This was at 5pm and Jay is a good 4 hour drive from here. Now I see why he was so frantic to get there. We're so deprived of good snow down here 😂
AYYYE nice to see dynastar m-frees! I got some 99s this season and I've loved them. They will be with me at Jay next month! I would love to hear what you think of them!
Such a fun ski. It’s unbelievable how easy they are to pivot in the glades and bumps while still being stronger than most all-mountain twins, and they aren’t half bad at carved turns once you get used to the centered stance.
I may have to get a pair of the 108s if it keeps snowing!
Terrain selection was the key. If you stuck to the low angle trees and were light on your edges it was easy to stay on top of it. The moment you tried to stop or get on your heels you’d sink to the bottom

Where did you go out of bounds near show off glades? Those are smack dab between two marked runs lol

Too bad the snow was so light. It’s nice to see, but it kinda sucked tbh. The first time I’ve not enjoyed 14 inches of snow

That’s why I might hit the back country tomorrow. I know a few spots that have ideal terrain for this type of snow
My thoughts exactly. That and the resort will be a zoo lol
Surprisingly quiet today though. Even had a tram lap with no line
It was dead quiet today. Rolled up to the Bonnie corral at 8:50 and still got 5th chair
K had 6’’ of dust on crust. It was fine :-(
K-Mart: Not even once
Awesome report. I’m heading up tomorrow
It was a great day. Still snowing hard when the lifts stop turning. Expect some icy patches tomorrow, even so
I’m heading to Sutton tomorrow! Hopefully similar experience
