THIS is a ski run? This narrow, "not-only-did-I-forget-my-climbing-harness-but-also-my-parachute" width-of-a-sidewalk is worthy of a naaaame on a ski map?? Are you serious?? ..................point and chute...right?
How hard can it be? I mean, surely if a ski resort is willing to endorse this run by putting a name on it it can't be that dangerous........................right..................................?
You ever get vertigo looking at a picture?
You gotta eat the big bowl of Wheaties for a day like this. Cause when you're at 12,100' and you're hiking in ski boots, running out of gas isn't an option. Now, I know there's a run over there for me somewhere.......
And I know I've got quite the liberal use of italics and bold font at this point.
Steeps, to bowls, to trees, to moguls - days like this have you begging for the double bacon guacamole cheeseburger, with no onion.
Fact: Skiing the bowls the second day they've been open all season can be both thrilling, and unnerving. (As if that chute wasn't unnerving enough) Skiing through debris fields of recently-exploded avalanche charges reveals pockets of gunpowder-splattered snow.
The steeps in the trees below catch you, turn after turn, in thigh-deep fluff tracked for the first time all season...
It kind of made the following day's training regimine a bit............flat...
Hey, it's not all fun and games....
