The moon was smiling
Skies were clear
Temps were in the teens as I gathered my gear

No need to break trail
That job was done
Getting me closer to those peaks in the sun

Powder Bowl




Doors


It was deep
Alot of times I couldn't see
With all the powder and sluff flying around me

Once at the bottom
I looked back up at my tracks
To find it most taken out by sluff which was wack

Back to skinning
The top only a 1000 or so away
Then came Carl, Tera and Nate somewhere halfway

To Upper E we marched
There was no time for break
First tracks down before its too late

and a few more of

And again


Back up the frontside
It didn't take long
Cat track to cat track you couldn't go wrong

Damn this is fun
The best day of the year
But the mountains not even open though its near

The lifts were cranking
But hills void
Of the 1000 locals which can be hard to avoid

Upper E once again
A top to bottom for the last
Reflecting with a grin on an epic day that has just past

I am sick to my tummy that I can't be there...

Best trip report of the season SnoHoe - WTG!

Yeah, Great report, Eric.
Thanks.

D00d! I sat at my cubicle all day yesterday and daydreamed of doing just what you did.
I should of gone, because I didn't get any work done anyway.
Nice poem too.
If I'd tried that in my posts, it would look something like this...

Man Ohh Man
Treasure those runs.
I was just at the mountain
and it's rain soaked and done.

Ha. Ha. Good stuff. Reminds me of the poem TR I did for the silver skis race a year or so ago.

Thanks for the stoke :)

Time to go to a meeting now :(

Makes me want the resorts to wait a week to open.

Why can't they just wait for thanksgiving and let us ski there for a week?????
