99--Powder Mountain 13M

The wind was very strong and gusty.
The snow was hard, crusty shit.
To many rocks, and overpowered.
We only rode for half hour or so.
Then it felt a little dangerous.
So we called it a day.

98--Skyline 13M


Rode down with Brian and Heather.
The wind was light around 8 - 10 mph when we arrived,
but it strengthened to around 15 during the early afternoon.
I wanted to try my snow rear relaunch line on my Instinct.
It started to tight, but worked great when adjusted.
So far I still like the Instinct better than the Frenzy.
Snow coverage was adequate to ride in the flat area
and part way up Bosco Hill,
but the whole area is in dire need of a good snowfall.
I found my spot, where the wind was stronger
and just stayed there all day,
The otheres played on the hill.
I didn't have enough wind on the hill.
I was doing a lot of rock dodging,
and then small jumps in the soft areas
where the snow had drifted in the ravines.
Fun day, I'd go back today,
if it wasn't so far.

97--Powder Mountain 12M

Better wind today,
started at the parking lot, by 11:00
then rode most of the hill.
Snow sucks,
Lots of snow snakes
pulling at my board.
Lots of rocks.
Cody tore up his kite in the trees,
Newbeys got stuck in the wind shadow
before the gap.
Ryan and Chris Headed up as
Doug and I were leaving.
Bet the snow was worse later.

Powder Mountain 12M

Frenzy Taco,
light session.
No kite works in no wind.
Rode about 100 feet
down hill,
by the Radar Towers.
