LambertoMI Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I am in town on business and going to head up the mountain on Thursday night for a Friday session. Any hints, tips or fellow riders want to join me? Cheers Lamberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jishaq Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Classic carving runs, in order of steepness from least-steep to most steep, are Lower Zachary, Flying Carpet, Buckboard, Wagon Trail -> Short Spoke, Elevator Shaft, and (upper) Zachary. It's not likely that you will be able to carve any groomers, since it's supposed to dump Thursday and Friday. If you brought your carving board, you might try to carve Lower Zachary, but otherwise it will be a powder day. On a Friday, probably traverse over a bit and hit Sentinel Bowl for some fresh powder, then there's some fluff around Norm's Nose / Conestoga area, and usually by then (10:30 or 11) they've opened up the backside and you can head over and pretty much take your pick. Since it's been a ****ty season, even though it's a Friday, there are probably going to be a LOT more people than typical for a midweek day. Trying to get their fix. Wish I could join you, didn't see your note until just now. Have fun! -Jeff ps: If you are a REI member, you can stop at a REI and get a discount on a ticket on the way up: http://slidingonthecheap.com/deals/Kirkwood.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
