Last week I wrote that the Laurentians required enough snow to ski/ride on top of the rock hard icy 3 feet base and ice crust layer , well we got it. About a foot of snow fell since last Sunday and maybe an inch or two today. With this type of snow the best Laurentian place to head to is Alta the all natural snow place with little to no grooming. The place skis like a big mountain with lots of narrow back wood trails covered in new snow on top of a rock hard base. The open trails are also left ungroomed allowing for nice turns. Light snow is still falling and tomorrow should be another great day as the sun will be out helping out the flat light situation.
 
Hey, I was there me too today... it's getting back nice !

Today was the kind of days when you ski 90% in the woods to enjoy some first tracks in 12" of fresh everywhere on the mountain ! hmmm... ok, there is still some crust left, but not that worst !

just a few pics...

interesting base of snow... !

The snow base will soon be too high to ski some of the glades of the mountain :(

Great pics , Sunday offered up windblown snow and granular patches ( that would hold a edge) with great visability. The good news is that this snow and sun weather should hold up until at least March 10 so conditions should keep improving. Good news as we are off to MRG next week . No better place to get ready for MRG than skiing Alta .
