 | Comments: |
The ski area was at full capacity today. We received many comments from the skiers that they thought we hiked up the trail faster than they waited in line & rode up the Quad! The conditions looked great tho.
We made fresh tracks on the WRT in dry - glorious powder ;o) No sign of the previous hiker traffic as it was buried under at least 2 1/2 feet of new snow ~ ah. The "ride" down off each peak was fabulous in the soft ~ deep powder. What a day!!!!! |
