Pow pow pow!

Saturday morning wake early, Solitude reports 5″ overnight, and still snowing. We join the caravan of weekend warriors heading up the canyon road to the resorts but arrive at Solitude as one of the early birds. A weekend with good snow and still no big lines, I’m getting to like this! We head up to the very top I asking one of the hosts he said the back area, Honeycomb was open. We make our way up there to be greated with high winds and a closed sign. Second time up it is open and we drop in. The high winds make for not so great conditions and we take the “easy” ride out which end up flat and sucking majorly. I’m not a happy camper. We break for lunch, I decide to dump my pack in a locker. The snow is really dumping now, and with a light load I feel much more positive. Hook back up with Dave & Derek & we session the front mid section until the lifts close. Lots of fun snow to find, and it’s still dumping! And the snow that is falling now is real powder snow. Too bad this is our last day, but bodies are thoroughly sore and worked. I have to say after a bad start, the rest of this trip was excellent, I will be back!
