A Little More About the Lake Runs
Yesterday I did not give enough of a report on our 2nd run of the day. If you go back to the August 05 posts you can see a great picture of Paul skiing gully number 1 (posse nickname)above the lake run and get a pretty good idea of what we have been skiing when I talk about the Lake Runs.
There are 3 huge gullies that tower above the Lake Run that you access from the Condor lift. Now by gullies, I really mean 3 gigantic powder fields above 3 narrow chutes opening up into the lift accessed Lake Run which is as big as the west wall of China Bowl. Yesterday we had to break trail for close to an hour. We then traversed out to the 3rd gully which was just incredible. Not epic deep pow, but still super fun. I would describe the snow as cruisy. Easy to make really big long turns that look rad when viewed from the hot tub.
Today we dragged Pete up to gully number 2. It was awsome. Ted took a spill and his Wyoming trucker cap tumbled down about 2000 vert. That should give you an idea of the pitch to the terrain. Ted was fine. So was his cap.
In other news, as if Dav's camp wasn't enough, the Austrian ski team arrived yesterday with the Herminator. I actually had to go Euro on him and his posse in the Jun Calillo maze which brings you back to the Roca Jack. Head down, elbows out, and keep marching until you are on the chair.
OK, I wasn't able to muscle out the Herminator, but we did beat out his lackeys. I think they were more pissed that I was stopming on the back off the great Herman's skiis. They are grooming a GS course off the Roca Jack tonight. That should be fun to watch tomorrow.
