Holy Crap Batman! Did you see how much snow we got???

Well snow fans, this was one hell of a Friday on the mountain! The members of this trip were:
Keri-Lyn
Randy
Jordan
Austin

Yes, it was a Friday - but we are snowboarders and there was flippin' stupendous amounts of snow hitting the ground this week! Looks like we got nearly 50" at Timberline over the course of a few days and it showed on the mountain! There was powder for days!
We of course battled the same kids and the not waiting for each other or better yet not wanting to ride on the lift together, but even that didn't phase the day as it was just spectacular! There was not a single cloud in the sky on the mountain today. It was beautiful! I have posted pics from the drive up and back as well as the short stint we spent in the lodge, check em out!
Today, we spent quite a bit of our time on "The Mile" boarding "Gordo's Mile" to "Mustang Sally" to "Alpine" to hit "Kruser" and take Jeff Flood Express back up. If that wasn't enough, we would take the Magic Mile lift up and come down "Coffel's Run" Hit either "Kruser" or "Paintbrush" (for jumping and carving skills) then hit "Glade" back out to "Kruser" to get to the Jeff Flood.
Jordan and Austin had a great time on "Paintbrush" with all of the jumps they have carved out in there. At one point Jordan and Austin both were digging out of deep powder! Ah yes, and they couldn't be alone, Randy thought it would be great to cut through the trees and found himself stuck about 30 ft in in DEEP snow too! hahaha It was so funny I spent my time laughing and forgot to film it! :) (Next time!)

I think I'd like to try "Otto Lang" and scoot across to "Mustang Sally" then "Alpine" tomorrow and see how that rides!
So everyone is in bed already and have been since 7:30 - wow! what a way to get the kids in bed early! We are headed back out in the am so we will see you on the slopes!
