The Red group hit Titus today . 2/3/12
Conditions : Firm /Fast
Five of us hit the mtn for first chair today after sitting home for 2 weeks and 5 damn ice storms . We all were "antsy" from not skiing in awhile and had low expectations but figured what the hell a bad day of sliding is better than damn near anything else .
I had lucked out earlier this week when I WAS INFORMED I WON A WINTER PHOTO CONTEST and a gift card at the Mtn for $150 . So my next 6 trips there are free------------ yee haa. .
It was a crisp 18 degrees a pleasantly sunny for about an hr then it started to snow . Just snow showers nothing serious .
As we booted up i was amazed to find that the coverage was still full side to side , firm but very edgeable .
While you could see ice in some huge spots under the Upper Mtn lift the groomers had done a great job of grinding up the death cookies on the open trails giving us some fun stuff to play in . The skiing was very fast and firm but enjoyable as hell and exceeded our expectations given all the recent crap Ma Nature threw our way . Sure the trail count was down about 20 % but hell its still good sliding _Primo no way but fun none the less.
We got in 22 runs on all 3 mtn sides and had a good time . I 'll be back a couple times next week then The RED group heads out for our 2nd of 3 monthly extended trips to Tremblant on the 15th- 17th.
Life is good and the inner demon has been quieted for awhile :>)
