Well,
As of today, Adam and I have snowboarded every day of the year. The Crowds here at Park City Mountain Resort are insane right now with the holidays so an early start is advised. The snowpack is really shaping up nicely and we were glad to finally get on some "HERO" snow. The temps are cold and the sun is out so get your ass out here and carve before the week of snow comes in this Sat.
Adam and I started off on the Payday lift and, well, ran Payday run for a spell. Why wouldn't you? Everyone else was headed off to upper mountain but Payday was absolutely choice!! Next up was the obvious choice, Silver Queen. It's East facing aspect is just wonderful in the early AM with a bit of alpine glow and some great grooming. Right side was some nice natural halfpipe and atop the Madd 170 CB-T, the sidecut was perfect to stay within. Adam was on his Kessler and enjoyed the lack of early crowd airborne off the Silverqueen lip at the top. To say we anhilated the queen top to bottom is an understatement. The trenches we apparent and may have caused some accidents in our wake. We hit Prospector off the Silverlode lift next and it was nice but the crowds were building halfway through the tenth hour of the day. Dynamite was just that as it was groomed for the first time this year. Adam and I cruised by a crew of instructees with their instructor and got plenty of looks and muddled "unbelieveables!!". As the day went on, the crowds grew and I was glad to be on a 12 meter stick. We're looking at 5 days of snow starting the 5th and this should make a wonderful base and playland for the Wasatch Trenchin' Convention coming at the end of the month. See you out there!!
