At 10:20 on Sunday, Gore Mountain dropped the rope on Topridge, the first expert terrain of the season. There were some water bars to manage, and a few other irregularities.
The temperature/humidity was right on the borderline for snowmaking, so surfaces weren’t silk you get when you make snow at 5 degrees. But it was the right kind of snow to be laying down as a base. No one was complaining and it was a blast skiing it. Pitch, swales and a very carvable surface.
That looks pretty sketchy to me.
So Harv, what are you skiing on? Leather lace-ups and some old Karhus? Or did you finally get new stuff and not tell us about it?
Nick… you’da ripped it. It was totally worth skiing. SBR … still limping on my barely alive K2 World Pistes. The good news is that my T2Xs came back from warranty repair in Seattle in time for the weekend.
