Season 2017-2018

At this time, I consider the season over. Got a decent number of days, but considering I was skiing every day between Christmas and New Year, I wonder why it didn’t turn out to be more.

Day 22 in Northstar

Today was actually good. The cold temperatures have kept the snow soft, so the conditions were perfect for carving. There were a few icy spots, but nothing too bad.

Day 21 in Northstar

Another hard-pack day with patches of soft. I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating; I don’t like skiing when it makes sounds. There should be no sound when your skis touch the snow.

Anyway, still a great day in the mountains.

Day 20 in Northstar

After skiing for a week in Japan, I am now back on the skis in Northstar again. They opened more terrain since the last time I was here, but the conditions were mediocre. Many hard spots with some softer sides make it unpredictable. Especially the connection between Zephyr and Comstock should be avoided as it is an icy mogul field.
