thursday 3/14 pico report
Posted: Mar 14th, '24, 18:51
skibum thursday at the place no one should go. beautiful sunshine and perhaps the warmest temps of the season. surprisingly fullish parking lot but as is usually the case, where were they on the hill. noon start for the golden. 11:30-4:00 shift.
lower mtn trails were on the "sticky" side. lower elevation outpost was manky and needed to be skied in more. upper mtn was where it was at. everything skied great. friends who double dipped (not the trail but skied k in the morning and pico in afternoon) thought pico was much better. upper mtn nats haven't been skied to within an inch of their life like they are at k. summit glade rotd. soft smallish user friendly bumps. not a hint of ice. perfect. multiple laps were had. giant killer just as good. again nice soft bumps. throw upper pike and birch glades into the mix. no one wanted the day to end.
