Nice. Thanks for sharing. Was it the sort of crust that could cut your face if you fell and broke it? If so, extra points.

Cool picture . . . you weren't going to try to call this "patch skiing" were you?

Way to go Kam and Allyson. Yikes those thorny shrubs look nasty. In addition to your kevlar vest, it might not hurt to wear your helmet and goggles on the next outing.
You know what grandma always said, "everyone is laughing and having a good time until someone gets their eye poked out".

thankfully there was no eye-pokage issues on this trip...though it was close a couple times.  with a couple more feet of fresh pow, that hill would have some real potential! not bad for for va though, glad i brought my skis afterall--at least just to say we skied a not-big-hardly-bald knob in va.

Hey that coverage is what our lower level snows will be looking like if these temps keep up....definitely a sad sign............
