Afton has now gone from calling their elan skiblades from "snowblades" to "skiboards" although they are not real skiboards it will send people in the right direction when searching for their own pair to buy. Good thing!

Wow, looks great! I might have to make a trip out midweek while the kids are still in school sometime this season

We ride floodlit in Austria when we are there providing the apres ski was not too liquid. It is awful in the spring when the slush refreezes with darkness but in January with no daytime thaw it can be wonderful, mainly because the light is so good. Will post a webcam PIC when it comes up.
Sadly the floodlit piste is served by a gondola so it's boards off every ride up. That would be a bear with softboot bondings. So wish they had installed a chair.

Night skiing is fun. The mogul field was even lit up for you too. I hate mogul fields in daylight, let alone at night.

You had the place to yourselves. Hope the conditions are as good 3 weeks from now.

Night Shredding 12-21-13
So yesterday Mrs. Sempai and I was back out at Afton Alps (where Epic begins) for some night shredding. She chose her favorite Allz, and I went with the LE ALPs. I was going to ride the Blunts again, but decided against it because I thought the conditions would be icy. Turns out that I thought wrong. There were a few slick spots here and there, but nothing the Blunts couldn't have handled. Conditions were very good.
At first I was not feeling the ALPs at all and wished I had brought the Blunts instead. It took me a good dozen times down the runs before I felt comfortable on the ALPs. Once we clicked, it was smooth shredding. It was a great night!
