3/11 strawberry view area 13m instinct, skis

[Mark Johnson]

Rode with Ryan and Sal. This spot had the wind while others looked to be struggling at other locations. Very smooth wind that got better as the evening set in. I was loving the fast snow conditions. My fastest runs were going uphill. 34mph on the gps. Lots of terrain to play on and some powder to either put s turns in or to turn s turns into dollar signs.
it was the best sesh I have had on the snow! Only downside was while trying to help Ryan land his kite with my skis on, the wingtip caught up in the snow pinched and poped! tearing the leading edge. (sorry Ryan)

Oh My God!!! 34miles top speed 35mph, and tons of creamy poder glides. Best day of the year for me. Started at 12 on a 15m was thinking this could be a handful! and it was. In the end was the perfect kite. Pepe was boosting big air and I was trying to keep up with the sick fool. Best day of the year for me.

14 m kite, super strong wind to start at noonish. The coolest thing was that areas where you would expect a wind hole had nice wind, the ridges were almost too much to hold down at the beginning, and then the sun worked some real magic on the snow. Todd was launching himself all over on the tele setup, and Jake - well let's just say I've never seen the @$#! he was pulling in person before. It is amazing how much terrain there is out there. I felt like I was in Greenland for a while...but wait - the highway is just a few miles away! My best day on snow ever, add 2 feet of pow and it would have been 12 out of 10. Some days you just get lucky.
