big snow at sugarloaf

It really snowed at Sugarloaf.    In the middle of it, the weather was intense. To get to the good snow one had to take this cut across from the t bar, since nothing else was running in the blizzard winds. It snowed on  Wed., thurs., fri., sat., and Sunday, and 64 inches of wet heavy snow fell.  The visibility was poor, the wind was howling, at one point your goggles got gunked up from the sleet, freezing rain, snow and ice falling, but it was great.  I got stuck on King Pine chair for half an hour when a breaker blew, but my legs were wobblely at the end of the day.  On Sat. the t bar lines were terrible, but i took long coffee breaks and hit little used trails.  I love the wild and wooliness of big snow storms, finding good snow, seeing your way far enough to feel like the fresh power is really under you.

       And then their was Geppettos for a break from bad lift lines, or poor visibility.  I stategically took breaks,  maximizing my runs, and resting from the vigorous physical activity.
