Kirkwood....

Since speaking to people saying I was going to Tahoe for the season everyone has told me to go to Kirkwood as it is especially epic on a powder day, the place to be really. It was beginning to look like I wouldn't get there this season buuuut 2 weeks ago it was then announced that Vail had bought Kirkwood and season pass holders for Heavenly/ Northstar would get to ride Kirkwood with their season pass for the rest of the season, STOKED. So that same week friends of our were heading up and we got a ride with them as it's around an hour away. It was bluebird, sunny spring slush day so you have to watch where your going and not venture into the trees really as pretty dangerous with rocks/ boulders showing but man you could see the possibilities and greatness of this mountain and how it would indeed be EPIC on a pow day. We found the park which consisted of 2 jumps on one run and then at another section an area of boxes/ rails set up in lines of varying difficulty which was fun, Jade was stoked to do her first run of 4 boxes as they had a good section of easy ride on ones, although she did do an unintentional Michael Jackson to bail off one, haha!!


We then went to Kirkwood a couple of days ago, another bluebird sunny day but this time they had powder with all the snow we've got this week, we went to the backside and rode there almost all day and it is so sick. There was even a windlip which has started to form and fresh pow lines to be had everywhere and through the trees, such a fun day exploring the mountain :D 


Here's some photo's of the mountain....
