Opening Day…
I have to say we’ve been blessed with good opening days up here the past few years.
We had 8-10″ in the last 24 hours. It was a little windy so the main open trail was a little firm and will do well with the groomer on it a few more times. They also had the rope dropped on a couple runs that they were blowing snow on. The first few runs were pretty fun as the snowmaking rollers offered some good opportunities to launch and slash.
Some of us ventured to another area for one run as well, unfortunately the natural snow was arguably too light as the conditions over there would be best described as dust on granite (as opposed to dust on crust).
So I’ll try and get back to the original goal of my posts…
So my shred today was an Anthem 59 with Shift Bindings. I liked the Anthem today because on the firm snow it had the control and power to rail confidently. The directional nose was a nice advantage in the fluffy. Paul updated the shape on the Anthem reflecting what people like in the Agent while maintaining the responsiveness that the Anthem is famous for; that new shape helped make buttering and lauching off of rollers a blast.
I’ve been riding the new Unibody bindings on my groomer set-ups since last year. I really like the feel of them; I would argue that they have a nice “skate-y” feel to them.

This is the first song that came on my Shuffle today as i was riding…
Sunday Update…
Well I had fun Saturday, but I really had fun Sunday. There was no question the wind was blowing both days, so you look around and say “where did the 14-18″ that they advertised go?” (storm total)
Well, I found it all…in one spot.
I can’t claim I found it first…but there was plenty for three laps.
