Off Piste Skiing

Off piste skiing occurs when you are not skiing on the groomer.  It’s interesting because on a day like this past Saturday, the groomer could technically be considered off piste skiing.  The courderoy was a bit rigid and bumpy similar to skiing of the groomer.  It was a spring like day with a hard pack in the morning and by just after 10:30am, the bumps were spectacular on the West Wall at A-Basin.  They were soft and easy to bounce off of.

The purpose of this post is to remind you we are far from our ski season being over.  Actually, I may be reminding myself of this.  The snow is spectacular and we’re just in a bit of a snow funk.  Tonight there’s a warning for up to 20 inches in the Colorado High Country.  Get ready for a killer April as I predict a stellar spring season.

***All predictions are based on nothing but a gut feeling and chances of them being right or wrong is a 50/50 split.
