Acidophilus Conditions

  • 2010-12-29 22:12:56

    What a difference three days makes – the last post for this route told of a mine field of tree bombs and not too much new snow to cover early season hazards. Well,… glad to report that the recent storm snow has changed all that. The skiing is as good as it gets in Acidophilus – about 25 -30cm of fresh – light – POW with more accumulating all day long – it was Puking.

    The skiing was untracked and any tracks from previous days were barely noticeable thanks to the early morning snowfall that kept up all day long. Great turns with no one is sight. And all those obsticles? pretty well covered now and instead just some nice little rollers to play on.
