Way to get after it this season brah! I think you got more sick pow days than anyone here.Last week was cold and as the relentless spring rain poured the late season lurker froth and fomo was high, but lifts were closed most of the week. Almost pulled the ripcord and rallied down to bruhdakine's loc where the lifts were spinning and was getting refreshed on the daily with the cold and fluffy, but couldn't find any homies up for the mini roadie. A juxtaposition of ye ole no friends on a powder day I guess. Lifts finally went at my local Friday with 1.5' - 2'. Rallied up with the wifey and we mined some late and last of the season lines in the bowls. Snow was firm and a little grabby in spots, but super carvable. Had to really burry the rail and gouge hard to get into the white room, but it was there early. Otherwise the resistance of the snow felt very much like h20 and suring. Flew around with 20+ days legs popping off some fun hits getting some good tail snatchs and few tweaked mute grabs. Kinda went to sh!t by 11ish, so had a cold one on the deck of the mid mountain watering hole.

Next few days are the last of the season and should be some fun cord craveing and slush slashing. Gonna post up and camp in the lot. Hoping to get a few more methods! Cleaned and put the Orca to bed for the off season and laced up the old 157 C3 Jamie Phoenix. Should be a ton of fun in the sun!!!!
Along with rain.They are calling for more snow next week in Tahoe
So fun at Kirkwood this last Friday/Saturday. Drove up and arrived mid-day Friday, stayed in S. Lake overnight, rode all day Saturday, and then bailed back. Good way to save on hotel prices, one night instead of two. It's the one biggest cost factor right now with going to the mountains. Need to figure out a better way next season to cut that cost down... Picked up next season's Epic Pass for family today too so all set and stocked.
Good times. Little crusty in the morning, ideal softness around 11 - 1, and then mashed potatoes after 2:30 or so. But still very fun. Whole family and I had a blast. My son is loving all the side hits, finds some good ones too. He had a couple good crashes, licked his wounds for a bit, and then kept going.
Left them with my wife for lunch, went over to Wall chair, hardpack as it gets, a blind person would know just from the screeching sound. Watched this one snowboarder lose his edge and skitter several hundred feet down luckily shooting the gap between the only two trees and lift tower. Ouch. Guess the sun just hadn't been on it enough even at noon; at least there were some small moguls that you could have some leverage on, turning through the skitter. Wasn't too bad but didn't return for a 2nd run there. A short and fat (this year) hourglass chute leading into the Drain from there (very right of photo below), sun had been shining on that enough, combo of slight crust and slush, fun run. Good sh!t was the bobsled course carved out up near the top. It was fast and there were all sorts of still-frozen speed check scars leading into turns which made it an adventure. Hope it's still there in a couple of weeks because that was fun as hell.

They also had the pond skim yesterday. I checked it out between runs as wanted to maximize riding time but this guy:

He poached it, did a huge speed check halfway down (poor decision), made it about halfway and then sank. Couldn't climb out of side, slowly waded a ways, needed assistance, the whole time being heckled by the announcer. Funny as sh!t, although I did see him getting accosted by the yellowjackets. Hopefully they just gave him a stern talking to and a slap because getting his pass pulled for that would be excessive - his humiliation was punishment enough.
Definitely want to get another day or two in before season is up.
After watching that (I hate moguls) this came up on my feed. Nice to watch.
