Type of Snow: Ultra Virgin Fluffie Powder 4"+ deep
Weather condition: Very thick fog + Super high Winds.
Gear Used: Extreme Conditions, Everything i had!
Road condition: Easy flowing, except my car now has that rally mud look. Not as bad as last time!
Awww yea! Board Meeting!
Dong and I head off to Sugarbowl and ride some rides. Just by getting there, you could see the looming fog. And yep, it stayed the whole day. Once i saw the darkness of the fog i knew All the gear was needed. Base layer, Scarf, Both layers in the jacket, even the ninja looking mask to protect the nose / mouth / chin area. i didn't hafta don that stuff on until reaching the top of the top of Sugar Bowl. At the top it was sooo windy and foggy, that when we went down the run we didn't know if we were moving, or if we were just stuck and snow was just blowing upwards. It got very tiring after we did some runs inbetween some cliffs. Can u say Double Black Diamond? I wouldn't say it was, it had so much powder that it was pretty easy to do. Well easy to do but knocked the crap out of me. But when on the extra virgin powder sections, it felt like floating, especially with the wind and everything it feels like your going nowhere, yet you are, but on feather pillows or something.. Tis' Bliss..
All i gotta say is at the end, when your all changing back to normal clothes. And thanks to Mr. n Mrs. Seliger, using my new yet, old coleman camping stove. Heated a pot of hot chocolate with a douse of never-used-till-now Godiva Liqour.. Ahh yea, it warms the soul, and yummie choco-goodness!
