04/08 Powder Mtn 9M Snowboard

[whit]

A Posse of 5 of us arrived at 3:45PM, wind was in the 20's just as the sensor was reading. We didn't want to be confronted by Ski Patrol while rigging so we did a ski run into the Powder Country and then shuttled back up to HL Lodge. At 4:30, 2 rigged just over the snow berm at 3 of us boarded down and walked to the Radar Tower Launch. I had a great session on my 9M Caution with basically untracked snow and not sticky at all, some firm wind packed snow. Arnum was boarding on 10M RRD. Tom V on 10m Frenzy and skis, he said the snow was too punchy on skis. We rode from 4:30 till about 7, SW wind 15 to 28mph, windiest out past the Towers. Beautiful Sunset and good riding. WG
