Last day to take a bike ride from the Sunrise chair lift. I have also made a GPS track of the complete ride with pictures. CLICK HERE to view the GPS map along with attached pictures with points of interest. Below is a video of the progress of the Powderhorn II chairlift from the Round House. Ride was from Sept 27, not the 17th as I stated in the video, I was having a moment.

20" Powder in 24 hours, Honeycomb Bottomless!

Dorrie, Crazy George and Ron get back in lower Crystal Point. It's deep and bottomless and CG goes for it. It's steeper and deeper then it looks, but CG does a little flip flop. Who do we see, Jay M and his long sticks right behind us. Awesome stuff and there is more on the way in the next few days. Mountain Stats: 92" base, 296" season.

Sacrifice to the Snow Gods II

At last weeks sacrifice we where able to get our biggest snow storm so far, so guess what? Another one was in order. CG attempted to burn this snow baby into a puddle of plastic, we got her warm and she was stuck to the foil snowflake, but no total melt down. Maybe it was not in the stars this week, we did stir the snow gods thou, a brisk wind came up as she started to warm up a bit. We are ready for the season to start soon, are you?

Sacrifice to the Snow Gods

Today at our world famous get together John & CG decided to sacrifice our snow baby to the snow gods. Last time we did this, much snow arrived in abundance a few days after our sacrifice. The snow gods have been good to us before, may they see fit to accept our offer again. We have had two early storms but nothing that has stuck around, that is all going to change now... Next time we'll turn down the "funky monkey" for a bit better audio! Linda was so kind today to provide us with some yummy tender roast beef and juice. You might see her in the background working away!
