The Legend: Hickory, 2011-11-23 pics only.

Gotta run to work, here's some pics...  Not really any great action shots, too busy soaking it all up.  You don't care about the story, but I'll post a full TR by Friday.  
Snow was good, only scraped once. 3 runs.  
Only ones on the hill, dumping snow. Life is good!
What a great feeling to be putting in skin tracks again!













The day begins...  Your mountain awaits.

Nice!

Some great shots and some happy lookin eastern skiers.  

That musta been some seriously dense snow if you weren't bottoming out in (how many?) inches of snow.

I like the way you groomed the poma run too.

I knew something was up when I got this image from Chris on my phone with the message: "Woahh."



Life is good.

What skis are those in the first pic? (just curious)

Looks like an awesome time.

I think it's a splitboard.

Looks like fun! Anyone else around? I thought about heading up there, but lift served sounded like much less work.

Ahhh yes . . . . I see that now.  I was confused because I didn't see any boarding pics.

I thought the same thing, when I saw them leaning against the car, I thought "split board", then when I saw him skiing on them, I was confused, my normal state. Do you always use them as skis? Was it just due to the snow conditions? AT bindings? Heels appear locked, no? Are they just weird looking skis?

Looks like a nice place, have to add it to my hit list. I like places with the "retro" feel, except my home hill Greek Peak, just seems dumpy there for some reason.

Oops, just noticed, that's someone else in the action shots, never mind.
