Holy shit - this was going to be my season finale last post, but when i went to check the snow report i discovered that it had dumped 19cm in 24hrs. So first thing I did was grab my board and head out the door...
only blackomb is still open, and only running at about half capacity. it had been raining with high freezing levels all day yesterday so i decided the only place worth checking out was the high alpine. good call. i hiked into blackomb glacier and found at least a foot of true powder. the place was empty. me and a guy i met on the lift were the only people in the whole place. needless to say we found untracked lines wherever we wanted to go. if i was to have one complaint it is that the snow seemed a little slow and the terrain is not all that steep so it took a lot of effort to keep that board surfin. but all in all, i would probably say it was the best run i've ever had in the glacier - on freakin april 29th!
i haven't been tracking weather lately since we've had virtually no snow all of april. this was a total surprise.
the lower mountain is not really rideable, but the coverage on the upper 2/3 is still pretty decent. but who cares? i'm not there to ride the bumps.
i'll give this day an A rating just for the glacier run. other than the high alpine the rest of the mountain was pretty crap.
