How do they do it?
I don`t know how the guys at Powder magazine do it. How do you keep writing about powder skiing day after day after day?
Today was incredible. The sun was out all day, and the temps were crisp keeping the snow light all day long. Fresh lines all day long!
Today, like most days at Portillo, we started at the Roca Jack. It was deep. Lap after lap. So deep that ski patrol didn`t get the new lift just down from the Roca opened until noonish. That did away with the lines at the Roca. And by lines, I mean a 10 minute rest before you go back up the track. The track was more work than the pow. They don`t groom it, and it was very wind drifted. Kinda like going over the wake out water skiing. Fun going up, mucho mas fun coming back down.
We are all having trouble standing after 4 pm. Tim is getting his sit on up at Tio Bob`s right now. We are trying to hold out til after 7pm to hit the tub. That`s the toughest decision of the day so far.
We havn`t hiked anywhere yet. There hasn`t really been a need. There are still literally bowls of terrain that have not been opened since the dump. Tomorrow should be another blubirder. So much awesomeness just a short traverse away from the Roca Jack will be opening first thing tomorrow.
I guess I do know how the guys at Powder do it day after day.
With a giant smile!

People might just have one word for it, "Epic"
