people: Peter, Swappy, Matt, Christian and Jonny
We headed up to Stampede Pass Saturday for some good weather riding, but to our surprise, Friday's sunny day created a 1" crust layer on top of the fresh snow. this made for some tricky board riding and really wasn't all that awesome to make turns in. so the day ended up in a real mellow sessions. We practiced building a jump, it came out real nice, but hitting it while navigating the crust layer was pretty tough. so, keep it mellow we did.. all in all it was fun like any other day in the hills. good times, good laughs, good bro's..
This day also marked Peter & Christians 1st day out on there new to them sleds and i'm pretty sure there 1st time EVER riding sleds. (welcome to the addiciton!) It was entertaining to watch them try to figure these machines out. there 900cc machines are beasts! and once they figure those things out there isn't many hills these things wont concur.. while Matt, Swappy and I built a jump and had a crusty board session these 2 were just braaaping all over this hill the whole time, learning the sleds and getting some bruises along the way.. i bet they were soar the next day :)
Conditions:
25 to 29 degrees
2+feet of fresh with a 1" crust layer is my guess (we're still trying to get a base over here) so lots of trees and stumps to watch out for still.
partly sunny skies
