Hello!

What an incredible day on the slopes! The conditions were absolutely perfect with 12 inches of fresh powder. Here’s a breakdown of our adventure:

Pristine powder snow

Morning Run

We started early, hitting the first chair at 8:30 AM. The anticipation was building as we saw the untouched powder below. The sun was just starting to peek over the mountains, casting a golden glow across the fresh snow.

Fresh tracks in the morning

Gear Setup

For today’s conditions, I was riding my:

  • Skis: Volkl Mantra M6
  • Boots: Atomic Hawx Ultra 130
  • Poles: Black Diamond Traverse
  • Helmet: Smith Vantage MIPS

This setup was perfect for these deep powder conditions!

Tips for Powder Days

  1. Get there early - First tracks make all the difference
  2. Stay in the fall line - Maintain momentum through deep snow
  3. Keep your speed up - Float don’t sink
  4. Don’t forget to breathe! - Take it all in, these days are rare

Skiing through powder

“There’s no such thing as too much powder.” - Every skier ever
