One Year To The Day

It was one year to the day since I’d first skied Big Jay, and now we were back for more. On such an anniversary day, we couldn’t let the opportunity pass us by. In fact, it was the first day Rob and I met Jen, and we’d skied it together. Rob, Jen and I got to the top of the line early in the day, and figured we’d take our time getting down and snap some footage. I think our efforts paid off.

Some kind stranger snapped our photo, and didn’t snap up our line.

Someone told us it was all tracked. Lucky for us that wasn’t the case.

In fact, it was fresh and deep.

We switched off camera roles so we all had a chance to play.

One of my favorite things about leaving the resort is that it feels like you’ve suddenly been transported to a winter wonderland.

And when we were done we caught a ride back…

Cold Smoke

The Jay Cloud was in full effect and we hit the road good and early for first chair on Saturday morning. We scored first tracks on deliverance and found face-shots aplenty throughout the rest of the day. With a few inches of refresher, Sunday was in nearly as good condition as Saturday with well over a foot of fresh over the entire weekend following roughly four feet during the previous week. For day two we hit Big Jay, then made a slightly ill informed attempt at Gilpin, across the street from The Dip. The results…well see for yourself!

Winter 2012: It was the best times, it was the worst of times…

Even though it basically didn’t snow last season, we were determined to get after it. In the end, I was so thrilled with out accomplishments during such trying times, I decided to whip up a season encompassing highlight reel. If this is season even approaches last season in awesomeness I’ll be content.

My partners in crime Ziehl and Marshal have already done photographic justice to the pivotal weekend of February 26th storm which totally dominated Jay Peak, so rather than belabor the point, I’ll officially post the highlight reel. Hope you enjoy!
