Another deep March day

Well, here we are at March 30th, well on our way to spring and it just snowed a foot of cold, light, dry snow overnight. I love living in Nelson. And I love how this March just keeps on giving. We had plans to get up into the alpine again today but with a foot of new, we weren't ready to hop on the big open stuff. So we headed for the steep and fantastic tree lines in Acidopolis. The players today were Tim, Steve, Eric, and myself, and the playing field was the deep white. Our first run down we all had huge smiles as we destroyed the white goodness.

We headed back up for a second run, and Tim had to head back to the resort to ski with his lady. One of Steve's skins was acting up beyond repair so he headed back with Tim as well. Eric and I were off for another lap down a nearby line and found more deep snow and some great pillows to huck.

We finished up the day with a nice 1700 foot line down the side of White Queen. All in deep, untracked, beautiful powder. Just another sucky day in the Kootenays.
