Finding the Goods at Mary Jane.....

Headed out really early today and got on the third chair at Mary Jane (WP). There was over a foot in the last 36hr and over 2 feet in the last 7 days so we were stoked. Started to really look like winter out there, but it's frustrating cause I'm heading to Jackson next week which has relatively no snow (the Hobacks aren't even covered!). Temps. hovered around -4 this morning so it was friggin' COLD!! Still limited on terrain at WP, thus, Erik and I took matters into our own hands, i.e. ducking ropes for most of the morning. On the upper mountain we found some surprisingly deep stashes that were blower over-head (if your knee was dropped...). Plowed a couple rocks lurking under the shallow snowpack, but that was expected. Glades were really good as well and reminded me of VT. Easily the best skiing of the year in COLORADO and we're poised to get a couple more beefy systems mid-week and this weekend as a trough sets up. It will be hard to drive out of here on Friday morining. Hopefully Jackson gets pounded before we arrive....oh, and Washington state for that matter... peace yall!
