Not in a long, many years can I remember being able to ski locally so early. Around 50″ of fresh, we were on some of the first few chairs to load Hogsback. After three runs I could feel the effects of office life on my legs. Having so much time off means that much more catchup for my body.
Opening day at Stevens Pass - Big Chief chairlift
We rode a solid four hours before breaking for snacks. There weren’t really lines so everyone was tearing the hills apart. Coverage was the same as mid-December usually sees and almost every patch was shredded. We weren’t the only ones to also hit up the wooded zones – yes even the trees were in deep powder.
Ah, ski season, how I have missed you. Welcome back!
