Yes, I was going to take the day off but I couldn't turn down a chance to ride again. Kelly and some of her friends were going to ride the hill and do some short hikes so it was back to the hill again.
The plan was to do a run down Wolf Ridge and then maybe a run down DL's again. Both are pretty short walks and this time we were all on snowshoes except Lee who was borrowing a split board for the first time.
It was pretty busy at the base area again today thanks to the long weekends but as usual the lines at the lifts were pretty short (not that we rode them much!) . We were also blessed with nice blue skies. It may as well be blue bird if it's not snowing right?
The walk up to the top of wolf was okay, not too steep and it was over before we knew it. We got some nice views of Old Glory and Mt Roberts from the top.
The run down wasn't bad. Soft but a little baked? I'm not sure of the terms for it actually but it was still good. The run down took us to the road that takes you to the top of Roberts. Apparently it's been groomed, it's pretty sweet actually. Hard enough to boot pack up if you wanted, a bit of an easier walk than the way we went yesterday.
DL's produced the goods again today. There was definitely signs of more traffic today but there were still plenty of fresh lines in there and the snow was still great. I took a nice tumble in my first few turns but got more into it after that. I probably took a similar line as yesterday but it's hard to tell! It was a great run anyway, it's so cool that we are still getting fresh lines days after a snowfall.
After that we decided to check out a hut on Route 66 on Red. This one didn't have a stove or anything like that but it did have a hammock!
We ended the day with a couple of runs down War Eagle trees. There were some pretty big moguls on the top section but it got a bit softer further down which made it worth the second run.
Another cool day on Red Mountain. Definitely a day off tomorrow!
