A Christmas Eve snow report
Full-on winter at Jay today, including those without
snow tires doing the snake dance up the mountain road -- several not
making it. Wanted to squeeze in a couple of runs to get the kinks out
but wasn’t expecting a blizzard!
Bonnie was closed so took the Taxi chair over to
the Flyer. Nice mid-winter face blow on the Flyer with wet snow sticking
to the goggles but Ullr’s Dream was actually dreamy with a good six
inches of freshie still on the sides. Then detoured into Beaver Pond –
awesome for this time of year and really good at any time – same freshie
in there too. Last run I thought I would coast down the Northway and
maybe pick up Hells Woods on the way, but as I was passing Powerline . .
. it looked as if it hadn’t been skied, no rope, no people.
Hard left.
Best conditions on Powerline in a long time. Absolutely perfect – soft
crud with fresh snow on top and early in the year so no crazy gullies.
Mine were the only tracks all the way down. I was back in the groove
after that run.
Conditions are great.
