Skiing on May 24th

Woke up Monday to a day that was finally somewhat sunny. Minus the wind it was perfect, but really the wind help made sure we didn't melt into a ball of sweat! Hale and I took three runs, two on the west side of Mt. Rose summit and one down the east side of Mt. Rose summit. To be honest it was better than i was expecting. It was a good 3-4 inches of fluff on top of crust and I even think we got a face shot when going through some wind lips! It was a good day of spring skiing and with more snow in the forcast we might have to do it again!

Here is another pov video i am going to throw on here. it was from squaws opening day of the season, november 20. we had received some snow, about half a foot, but it was only enough to cover one run off of red dog... the skiing was horrible... but snow is snow, so i still had a blast!

To start things off, first day of skiing

here is some pov footage of the first day of skiing. October 14ish 2009, mt rose summit. we received a short storm that brought sloppy wet snow, which formed an excellent base
