Often overused, the term is true for this day. It was cold, in the low 20's and the snow was falling intermitently. Stuart and Michael Silk and Mark Callahan got up there @8:15. Parked at the Silver Skies where Mark has a place. We were on the gondola and started on West Face, untracked. It just kept building all day. Lot's of new snow, somewhere between 1' and 2". Chair 6 closed the day before, as was Northway. We made laps on 6 until lunch, then skied Powder Bowl and Bear Pits. As we got to the top, at 2, and the Northway Light came on. We went to the traverse and got into the Meadow only to find untracked. A virgin slope all the way to the bottom with everyone in whoop mode. Long line at the chair, late move to Gate 8, came down the left side on the Niagra's side . Here is the video from that. An incredible day.
By the sounds of my voice, you'd think I was scared of the deep snow. Nahhhh, not me.
