Super Bowl Sunday - Super in more ways than one

Very windy, and not a lot of new snow on the report. Skied the mountain with Joey until we hooked up with Baker. On-piste was very wind blown creating wierd drifts in the trees. There was some aspects on the mountain that held 3-5 inches of very nice light powder. Man, the wind was blowin up top.

Baker and I decided to try out the back side of mountain....good idea! The heavy winds were blowin right up until we got to the Microwave Towers. The measuring stake read 126", the wind was calm and the snow was falling straight down in large fluffy flakes. We skied the steep section of Gate D to the right. Wow! The powder was flying over our shoulders...way deep. I took the line that weaved in and out of the trees and over the Buck and Quarter drop. It was sweet. We continued down 2nd pitch and than into the Bog via Parkers. I launched Parker's rock and landed in some of the softest, deepest snow I'd seen all season. Baker and I were staring up at Dead Tree Cliff talking about the crazies that negotiate the take-off around that sharp looking dead tree. Just then two guys come through the trees and hit it in succession with no hesitation. Both flew about 40 feet and created huge bomb holes on the open bowl below. It was quite something to watch.

Baker and I continued down to Lower Canyon, skiing Granola Bowl into Endless Gully. The snow was bottomless all the way down. Just lovin it!
