Yeah, good times, and thanks everybody! You were really far away in that first picture — almost hard to tell there are kiters in there. I'm thinking that's me on the left (kept on working that section with some nice snow). I'd love to get back out this weekend.
Jarosa Mesa Jan.5, 2020. A ground bound, powder cruising vid, my little Apex kite won't jump, it's pretty fast though. We had seven kiters up there, so fun!

Greetings Gentlemen,
Say, just a friendly PSA that I was up on Hoosier Pass on Saturday, and it is a mess up there - bulletproof and completely cratered, the north bowl has also been scoured pretty good. I would consider the snow conditions range from not-fun to unskiable. This, coming from a guy who's typcially pretty optimistic; I flailed around for about 20minutes before heading back down.
Anyhoo, we'll need a good storm or two before it is rideable I'd say. On the upside, there is definitely a hard base in most spots - just need to get some freshies on top of it.
Little update about Miramonte:
Don t waste your time!
They plowed the road, and now it is a muddy mess, i barely made it with the 2500, 4Low, 1st gear. It is as slippery as i ve ever seen it!
I could see some weird thin ice spots right on shore, threw a rock to see, and it went through.
So we need so serious winter before we can ride it again!
Will let you know.
Here's a couple shots of San Juans outings this past week. It's more white up there than it looks, Ha! The alpine is a little wind scoured but soft bits still around with a little hunting. I've embraced the dark side and got a sled, so I'm gung ho for sorties to more remote locations so long as the avy danger is low!
