Finally got to get out and ride some powder. Took a total of 3 runs, wish we hadn't lost so much time in the bushwack to get to the slides, it was our first time to this area so we weren't expecting an easy approach.
The video pretty much sums it up. We did not get first tracks, but we did get fresh tracks. We didn't really expect first tracks seeing as folks had all weekend to ski the area. Looked like there were 2 other people who skied these slides over the weekend.
Next time we go we know which ascent to take, which should cut our origonal 2.5 hr tour in half, at least. Rather than post pictures on here, I threw a couple in the video.
**The last few minutes of the video are just the set up, and break down of a splitboard. I figured not everyone has seen them in action, and might find it interesting
Hoping to get into the high peaks next week, Drew has been posting some epic videos on adkbcski.com. There have been avalanches in the High Peaks and also VT and NH over the last few days.
If you're going to go out, be careful. Training, Beacon, Probe, Shovel, smart friends.
Lets hope tomorrow's storm pans out.
With this forecast we might be back on the mountain bikes next week.
