Took a late afternoon skin up to Eaglecrest to checkout the snow conditions and it definitely needs more of it. It was misting the whole skin up to East Chutes. The snow has softened a little with the warming of the temperature, but overall everything is very tracked out in Hourglass, Middle, and Far Chutes. The main point of heading up was to screw around with my video camera so here’s a short 3 min. movie of the drive, skin, and some shakey footage coming down (link below). I was hoping to rig the camera to my snowboard, but unfortunately suction cups and the cold don’t mix.
