Thursday 5pm - Kirkwood, great skiing

Long time no post. (Ira Glass effect?)

Plenty of Steezy Pie on the frontside. Morning started with chairs 6 and 11 open, minus Sentinel and beyond. Got a few laps of fresh and then went off to find that steep spot on lower Chamonix.

Monday 9am - Kirkwood, fair skiing

Went up yesterday. Most of the mountain was open, groomers, light crowds. A little icy at the top but it loosened up in the afternoon. Storms this week look promising.

In summary, going snowboarding is a lot more fun than not going snowboarding.

TAKW what a difference a week makes. Lot of crust still, but the groomers are choice and bare spots are gone. Schralp!

What Kirkwood lacked in new snow, it made up for in bigger crowds. All smiles. Sometimes you just gotta ski. #TAKW http://t.co/f4LAymUl

Double plus Epic. Dropped the wall first tracks. 10 ft of untracked powder. Felt like skydiving. Kind of cried at the bottom.

Friday 4pm - Kirkwood, great skiing

Kirkwood is reporting 62-68" in the last 24 hours and a storm total of 130" at the top. We arrived a little bit before 10 and took one run down chair 6 when we got word chair 10 will open soon. Ran over to 10 and got 6th chair and first tracks down the Wall. After a few runs there, we headed back to 6 because Sentinel Bowl just opened, and we dropped some huge cliff drops and then played around on some cat tracks. Took me about 5 tries, but I landed my first front flip today. Not very many people there and plenty of fresh everywhere. Another 2 feet falls tonight for a refill tomorrow.

The weather was nice and mild. Lightly snowing all day and around 27 degrees.

Thursday 4pm - Kirkwood, great skiing

The snow keeps falling. And Kirkwood does not appear to be lying when they report over 3 feet of snow in the last 24 hours. Muy muy bueno as they had Chair running from 9:15 to 3:15 -- even through wind gusts that were something to behold. By the end of the day, no one out there, and previously-skied lines kept filling in. Twas good. Me and my buddy got the very last chair. Not a bad way to spend a Thursday.
