Day 5 – In Your Face

If you don’t go, you don’t know. Today proved how true that is.

There was no prediction of new snow until yesterday afternoon, and the prediction was not inspiring: 2-3″. The Pass got around 3-5″, depending on the wind loading. I intended to go for a walk and did not expect any great skiing.

But I was pleasantly surprised when I got to the top of In Your Face Bowl and found it untracked with about 5″ on light snow on a firm crust.

Nothing like a 1,200′ decent on an untracked slope to make my day. I was the only one there. Perfect.

Also, it was nice to see this south facing bowl so well covered. Despite the lack of snow, the base coverage is pretty good.
