Day 3 was cold, cold, cold, cold, and did I mention how cold it was?? -25 degrees Celcius on the Alpine (with the windchill). Loading up the Creekside Gondola, I couldn't help but think the boys could have used the day off and the cold weather would have been a perfect excuse. Obviously, we made it up to the Alpine, and even though we were all still tired from the day before, we made our way down to the Garbonzo chair with hopes of getting back to the Creekside Gondola asap so we could get back to the comfy cozy car.
We had no idea what was waiting for us at the top of Garbonzo... tons of lite fresh untouched powder!! It was amazing. Si'Aire got stuck a couple times and had to unclip and hike out. Poor boy has only snowboarded on the East Coast where powder is hard to find. He quickly found out how we do it West Coast style! There was so much fresh snow and we wanted to stay out longer, unfortunately, we were all so cold, we had to call it a day. But it was a great day!!
It took a while to get to
Day 2 but it finally came, and with my two most favoritest guys .... Si'Aire and Kevin. We woke up early, took the Village Gondola up to the Roundhouse and proceeded to "shred it!!". Si' was ripping up the blues, riding through the trees and was looking to practice his jumps. His snowboarding has greatly improved since our last adventure.
It was Thanksgiving weekend and it was crazy crowded. Especially in the Roundhouse at lunchtime. We spent most of the day on the trails around the Emerald Chair but took the Creekside area of the hill down to the Village Gondola where it took me and Si about an hour to wait in line and download. Kevin chose to ride his board down to the Village and found the ungroomed conditions below mid-mountain worse than waiting in line. Live and learn I guess.
