After wrecking myself harvesting some corn snow last Sunday, it was all about redemption on this trip. We had a full crew, five deep skinning up Solitude to the top of Powderhorn. It was really nice to be back on the splitboard. Great day to be out, and about 8-10" of fresh everywhere overnight. That combined with what we got on Saturday was gonna make for a great day. It was in the mist on the way up, pea soup at times. But we eventually made it to the top and hung out for a bit. We had a fog delay dropping in as everything went whiteout. Eventually it moved on up canyon, and we were able to drop and make some incredible turns. We decided a second lap off the top of Apex was in order and we strapped in and dropped into some really good snow. The ride to the base with everyone charging it was just a great time!
It was so nice to redeem myself after hucking my meat to the mat last Sunday and wondering if I was going to get out on the board again this season. Today was just that day, getting back on the pony that bucks you off. Great day in the mountains with friends riding powder. Hard to beat that. Not sure how many more of these gems we will get before summer decides to show up and put this party to rest. More adventures to come.
