Today was my first Park tour of the season. Conditions are still quite thin down low but the snow up high was great! The temperature was -5F at the trailhead and we could feel it in our lungs. We followed a skin track across Whitegrass Meadow, to the top of Maverick and found some sunglasses on the way They looked like they might be Cary Smith’s…who I think was up here yesterday.
We had some spare time, so we punched the track to the top of Peak 10,696. The SE Face still had a far bit of rocks showing through, but we thought the higher we got the better. On the way down the snow was nice but we kept the speed in check cuz of the rocks. We found some nice alleys where we could link up some turns. The snow was still great on the top 1/3 of Maverick but then it got pretty thin. We skied it with caution. Wimpy’s looked like it needed more.
Hey Steve, rad site. This is so helpful. Now I know what’s skiable and good out there. Good luck this season with the contests!

It was in the negatives in the meadow chutes in BCC this morning, but the snow was soft and beautiful.
Great site, Romeo! It gets me psyched for a road trip!
Take good care,

Steve-
Great work on the new site, good stuff! Nice to have some local focus to run against Dawson down in CO. Nice work on the 10,696/Maverick day as well. Makes me look forward to my first day in the Park this season!
Looking forward to more posts of great turns!
