Fun Can Not Get Any Better!  12-16" fresh soft stable hero powder untracked in upper international.  Face shots every turn with my 70mm spring skis. Just as a wise old guy once told me, "narrow skis give better face shots", so true today. No sticks, no stones, no broken bones this day. So good pow top (16") to bottom (8") we had to go for more. Second run same snow conditions, with more sunny views, this time breakover trees to top of debbies gold on the way down.  50 cars in the lot at 130pm, thanks mofro for setting a perfect skin track yesterday (pretty similar to rando rally route up.)

"Almost" Smiley as good as Crystal or Stevens with half the drive time, one third of Baker or Paradise. Amen to Charlie's comment. We are blessed to live where we do. The winter games have begun.

It was awesome up there today.  Upper and lower nash were about as sweet as possible.  Had to grab a second run on Lower Nash before running home.  One hell of a first powder day of the season for me!  To bad we never crossed paths.

Very sweet snow again today, albeit with just a few more tracks in Nash than yesterday. I took the kids to West in the am before heading over at noon. No shortage of skiers, boarders, and snow shoers making there way up the hill on my way up and on the down. Fun times for sure.

Silas, it was nice chatting with you up at the lift shack yesterday.  I still cant believe how fantastic both the turns and coverage were.
