Rider’s Blog: Day 46

Another 13cm new snow overnight, making it 35cm in 24 hours this morning. Peak stayed closed yesterday so there was a whole bunch of pow just waiting to be shredded.

Being a weekend, a powder day, and presidents week - the lift lines were bound to be in full force. I rode down to Creekside in the morning and was shocked to see how big the line was. Anyway, focussing on the positives at hand, I decided a few awesome laps up at Peak would be an epic way to spend a super busy powder day. I met up with Skip, we went up Creek, and met Marc at Red. The three of us went straight over to Peak and got in line. Of course it was super busy there too but there is so much terrain off that chair, it was guaranteed freshies.

We decided to hit Doom and Gloom, and how good it was! Thigh deep and barely a track through it. We had an epic run and cut into lower VD trees instead of Grand Finale. Has some pretty sweet lines through there too. Bombed it down and back in line at Red.

Next run off Peak we decided to go VD trees. I feel this was a great decision and the snow was unreal. Had a blast shooting through the trees with Marc and Rico. Back in line at Red and up Peak again. There was so much fresh and untouched lines, we decided to hit VD trees one more time. Took a higher line this time and got more untouched pow. So stoked with the riding through there.

Marc and I decided to call it a day, after battling with crowds for a few hours. It was an epic day and I was happy to cut my losses there. Got a bunch of footage on the GoPro which I will go through eventually.


Looking back after our first run


Marc was stoked

That’s about the point where you need to get out of the pow and into the tracks, to make it over the flat area to Grand Finale.
