5" More Fresh, Blue Skies, and a FREE Hotel Upgrade!
That just happened!
As if all the pow we have recieved so far was not enough, we woke up to 5 more inches of complete fluff on top of the 80 or so inches we've been skiing this week.
The Roca Jack and the Caracara are still not open. The Caracara is still buried. It's completely buried! If the haul rope was not still up and running into the snow, the cats wouldn't even know where to start digging. That did not stop the posse from traversing out to the bottom of the super C chute. We followed a traverse that was set by Tom Winter, a senior editor for Powder mag. I intend on finding out how they write about skiing pow everyday, until then I will try to manage as best I can. "Best turns of the trip!" was uttered by everyone in our crew. Long and untouched. We've been skiing with some J Hole loc dogs. Who says we all can't get along? When we got down the Jun Callillo lift we saw the destroyed lift house. It was wiped out by a slide from the Super C. The owner of the hotel said he hasn't seen a slide like that since he's been here. 47 years!
So we go in for lunch. Paul bails out some tele guide from AK with a strap for his binding. We eat luch in the cafeteria. Food was great as always. We say good-bye to a couple of the guys from J-Hole. The road has finally opened. The hotel is filling up. Tim somehow gets a bed at the Inca for another night.
Yeah. That just happened!

i'm following along on my framed, and autographed!(McConkey)Portillo trail map. It's almost like i am there with you!, except that it is 90 f@#kin degrees here. Keep up the sweet stories, i'm going so seek some feminine attention immediatly
can't wait to see the photos, but the stories are extremely entertaining, stay and ski until it melts, "ho leau" = good stuff, turk
Team Vail: Nice skiing with the 3 of you. Glad to hear you´re dining like Kings now. Unlike us we were getting the stink eye once again in Santiago, Does anyone smile down here? Keep the powder heading south!
