Day 4: Better than Day 3 (though that ain't sayin' much!)
I headed up to The Canyons today for their opening day with Tirolerpeter, who was like a kid on Christmas Morning trying out his new BD Verdicts (not the tool for today, but we'll forgive him...I was stupid enough to ski my Goliaths yesterday) mounted with Silvretta Pures and some Scarpa AT boots. Uploading and downloading was on the Flight Of The Canyons gondola, with the actual skiing served by the Saddleback Express and High Meadow chairs. There was one snow-covered route down: Kokopelli/Pine Draw/The Meadows.
We skied about a half dozen runs by noon, when we decided that we'd had enough. Surfaces were considerably softer than at PCMR yesterday, although it required skiing through guns all day that were sometimes blowing a bit wet. On the plus side it was a gorgeous day to be out in the Wasatch Back, albeit without natural snow on the ground.
Snow, please. Thank you.
