Signs from the mountain seemed to indicate that they intend to hammer the summit during President’s Week, the traditional end of Gore’s snowmaking season.
Rumor was going from the headwall down. Open Pit and Lower Steilhang were being blasted top-to-bottom. I’ll chase the softest snow all day, until I drop. And I did that today.
My first trip up, the catwalk over to Rumor from Hawkeye was roped, so I went after Open Pit. I’da been first down if I didn’t pull up to snap a pic. I’m shutter challenged, so it seems the only way I can get a skier in the frame, is if he sneaks up on me.
