DL trees

A later start today. By the time I got to the hill it was almost 11am! I was planning to do some lift runs before making a run or two down DL trees near Mt Roberts with Presley, Richard and Ryan.

When I got to the carpark though it was totally packed out with cars. I'd say a few factors contributed to this.

1. It was almost 11am.

2. It was Presidents Long Weekend and Family day long weekend.

3. The BC cup races were going on.

Anyway i ended out just driving all the way home again so I could meet everyone at midday for the tour! Luckily the hill is only a few minutes drive.

I managed to get a half day ticket this time so it wasn't so bad that I wasn't actually riding the hill much. The road to DL's starts half way down a traverse to an area called exhibition. There is a little bit of traffic on that traverse but most weren't going up. DL himself passed us on that traverse which is sort of funny considering which run we were about to hit.

The hike up to the set off point wasn't actually too bad. I didn't time it but it was a lot shorter than the hike yesterday. Like the name suggests DL trees is a tree run, they are all quite well spaced and is reasonably steep, especially at the top.

We were some of the first up there today so we got untracked runs on pretty nice snow. Definitely worth the short hike up.

I decided to leave the boys to it and try and get in some runs on the hill instead of slowing them down for a second run! I managed a run down in the Oil Can area and then I did one of Red down the right of War Eagle / Poochies. The top of Poochies was pretty moguled out but the bottom had some soft snow. Oil can was fun also but also pretty tracked.

The hill definitely could definitely do with some more snow but it's still lots of fun out there.

I'll probably take the day off tomorrow, I think the legs could benefit from it!
