Made a planned run up to Spirit Mountain with my brother David, what wasn’t planned (but was much appreciated!) was the generous helping of fresh powder. They got 8.5 inches the previous day and 4-6 inches came down while we were there. Most of that came in a sudden burst of heavy snowfall mid-afternoon and allowed us to get nearly fresh tracks in the middle of the day, a real treat!
We got a lot of good runs in, and got some good practice hitting powder and the resulting bumps. Could definitely feel the burn after a good run that day! My only complaint about the trip is that Spirit Mountain has a very limited selection of advanced runs, and all of their runs point straight down the hill. We spent 80% of our day on 3 interconnecting runs and one lift! The great conditions more then made up for this though.
