April 17, Back Bowls and woods

Sarah and Todd poaching some lines in Blue Sky Basin (click for full size)

5 inches of new snow in many places, but only 3 inches in others. It was an o.k. day but a bit of a disappointment. There was a layer of crust underneath the powder which made the sledding a bit rough and a difficult ride. For sure, the last ride of the season. Plenty of snow mind you, but we are tired and ready for beach and biking. Adam Baker at one point flipped (rode) his sled on top of Todd Moyer's sled. Ouch. The Back Bowls of Vail were not in very good condition. Everything set-up underneath. We found better riding over by Vail Pass. But then we got into many thick trees. Perhaps the Back Bowls will be better next year.

Sarah gets the saw out to give the tree a hair cut in order to free her sled

Well, that is ONE way to stop a sled
