Ol’ Man Winter looks like he’s coming back for round two in the Rocky Mountains! With snow in the forecast practically every day of this week, we shot up to A-Basin for a quick refresher over the weekend. Even after enduring a largely dry February and March, a 4″ reload did wonders for the slopes. The whole place was skiing better than we’d imagined.

As an added bonus, I mustered the fortitude to tag my first East Wall run. For one reason or another I always found a reason not to bother, but with clear skies and fresh snow, I was all out of excuses.

It seemed like more vert. on the way up…
S-turns!
