My First First Chair all Season

The island exportation expedition was a great adventure. I'm working on sorting through photos from the trip, but in mean time just wanted to share another special day of skiing. Snowbird had been closed all week and it snowed about 30 or more inches during that time. They had been planning on opening Friday but the massive amounts of new dense snow prevented them from being able to open any terrain at all. So when they announced a 8am to till noon window for skiing on Saturday I jumped at the chance. I laid my gear out the night before awoke early and headed out. I parked on the summer road to somewhat out of the way of Superior and headed for Pdog. I skied up to the maze and low and behold...I'm first in line! Within 5 min I had 30 people behind me and maybe 100 by the time it opened. The mountain was unbelievably untracked, smooth and creamy as only this exact scenario could provide. I was relatively uncrowded and the day, snow quality and shear amount of untracked snow had a unique special wonderful quality that I had never experienced.
