A Pineapple Express, followed by a hard freeze and 2 inches of new snow reported…
On paper, that sounds like a day worth skipping. Dust on crust. And below treeline, that was indeed the case yesterday.
I waited in line for 7th to crack. Would the alpine be any better?
Among the very first off the chair, I raced down the slopes of 7th Heaven to find out! Barely crossing a single track on the descent, suffice to say, it lived up to its name. The snow was deep and surfy.
For lap two, I found more of the same off the backside onto Horstman. Sick!
Hostman Glacier
For lap three, I hiked up the Horstman ridge, only to find the Blackcomb Glacier open. This was totally unexpected coming on the heels of a season where I didn’t get in there until March.
Blackcomb Glacier
As some like to say, “You don’t know until you go!”
Exit from Blackcomb Glacier Zone
