Cruised up to Heliotrope yesterday to stretch the legs and get a little vitamin C.

Trail is snow free until climbers trail to Hogsback. Pretty ideal. Definitely a rain crust from the last warmup and refreeze. Runnels galore: Visible to around 9k. Made for some interesting skiing. Think spines without the pow. Anyways, always fun to get up high and slide on some snow!
Nice one, Charlie, I likey.
That vitamin P will be here soon enough.

Always beauty to get into that zone regardless of skiing conditions.

Thanks for the conditions update! Looked like a gorgeous day ☀
