YES YES YES!!!
Walking home after dinner on Sat, I passed a busload of snowboarders and skiers getting off from a day at Hunter Mt. I refuse to hit that mountain again since I broke my wrist on the last run of the day (see bullet #3 of the black diamond sign).
The snow this week has been wholly uncharacteristic for the northeast: light, dry and powdery, creating some exceptional conditions on even the worst maintained mountains. Per a few of the boarders I talked to getting off the bus, it’s the best it’s been in the NE “since I started” I think the kid was 20…
Shawn White didn’t eve need to do his new signature trick - the Double McTwist 1260 - to win gold in this year’s games…. but he did it anyway at the end of his victory lap run, after all the other competitors couldn’t best his first run (snagging a 48.4 out of 50 on a victory lap!)
