S K I E R S:

Basom, 666, Slim, and a special appearance by Runethechamp and his son.

Synopsis:

C’mon, seriously folks. The have around 19 inches of the firmest of firm pack covering most of the mountain. The winds blew in some wind-buffed bliss, which basically makes it a powder day. KT skied really well, pockets of Headwall, and so did Granite Peak.

I’m skiing with Basom, its going to be a fabulous day!
