Ddrwyoming: February 7, 2011 Uphill: 1,000 ft. | Downhill: 4,400 ft.
Multi sport day-Ski and snowboarded pass laps! Its super stormy so my thoughts of heading to the park were out the window and I slept in!Headed up with my skis to boot up Glory, but the wind was high from the West. Things were going to be wind loaded or wind effected for most part. I opted for a shivers and zipped home to grab my splitboard for a Claw lap.
The Claw was sketchy. I was hoping to get it before it got too wind loaded-I think I did-but still had about a 4 inch fracture 15 ft wide on each side of me. Stuck to the tight trees.
Things are going to get increasingly sketchy-PLEASE BE CAREFUL-for yourself and the people that you may be on top of and not know it.
Keep the Stoke Going!
