Today was one of those magical days .... in a drought season .... a last blast of winter dropped a couple of feet of heavy wet pow over Sugarbowl ski area over the last 24 hours ... Sugarbowl closed for the season 1 wk ago , but they allow uphill use of the resort before during and after the resort closes.... Lots of folks were up today to climb the fresh pow ... the pow was very challenging to ride very deep and very heavy ... I started out on center mount Sherpa for our first descent and then reset to the rear inserts for the second descent ... absolutely fantastic and a world of difference in ease of riding the heavy snow .. The new Spruce AT riser /Ambition binding performed flawlessly ... Joining me today were my son Jordan on a splitboard ( split Snowboard .. splits into skis for climb and then goes back together to form a snowboard for descent , Michael on Icelantic Scout with Fritschi AT bindings direct mounted, and Jeff on Spruce Sherpa direct mounted (center position ) with Fritschi AT bindings. ...
For the riders who joined me on the adventure tour at Sugarbowl during Shredfest , the last descent is through the middle Sister Chute , deep pow this time ....
