Well the big dump never arrived and we woke up to "trace inches" as the snow report. There was still a light dusting over everything though and some plenty of new places to go exploring in.
We managed to get up to the hill a bit earlier this time and the carpark was much less full. Apparently for a Monday it was a bit busier than usual but the rest of the week might be better.
Chair 8 was the call for a start. Top to bottom. We continued on for a couple more runs and then Jarrod had to go into the lodge to warm up. So decided to check out Chair 6 which is only black runs; Bruce decided to come with me. There is some nice terrain here and with a big dump it would be pretty epic, some nice steep pitches into an area called Canyon.
Anyway Bruce and I decided to keep it simple but I couldn't resist some powder stashes and we ended out in a flat area filled with powder. It took us a little while to get out of there but once we did we found the terrain park. It's only the beginners one but it's still fun; a few boxes and a couple of jumps.
Jarrod kept doing runs on the green while we extracted ourselves from the powder and we finally met up with him in time for lunch.
The rest of the day was mainly done on chair 6. I found some nice runs into that Canyon area but it's a bit worrying dropping into there on your own not knowing where I'm going. So I either followed other people or stuck to what I know. It was good to know what was down there though.
Definitely a good day.
It pretty much snowed all day today and on a drive down to Maple Falls it puked hard, Bruce was driving; his first time. He made it there and back successfully but as we pulled into park in front of our apartment he almost hit another parked car; he must have just missed it by an inch! It's the last time he's driving.
