Powder and Mud

Powder and Mud...yep, that's my weekend. Had one of the best days of the season up at Meadows on Sat...it snowed 5 inches overnight and it was light, dry, cold, and SUNNY. Spent most of the day in the woods near private reserve and gods wall. Pissed I left the camera at home. Things were gorgeous...Managed to find a line into the main cliff band at God's Wall. There was lots of snow in an area that is usually fairly bombed out. I have been wanting to drop into this area for a while. God's Wall is a steep cliff band that gets somewhat covered and has a few various lines down it. It's steep, exposed, and beautiful...stood up top for a while and found a line that looked do-able. It was about a 5 foot sloping launch into about a 10 ft drop that landed skiers right of the main spine...rocks to the right and rocks to the left, but it opened up quickly and had a good run-out. I dropped in first, Hector followed. I was surprised with how much speed I had when I landed, it was soft and smooth, got thrown a little when I checked but came to a stop. Great run the rest of the way down the face. A fun run and a beautiful day. Ended up skiing all day, got one of the last chairs up and skied the woods south of God's Wall out to the car.

Got up early to meet some teammates for a MTB ride near town. Was pretty tired last night and wasn't sure if I was gonna ride today, but I am glad I got up and motivated. Went out to Scappoose and rode around pretty hard for a couple hours. Took Phife and did my best to tire him out. It was muddy, foggy, and still quite a but snowy too. Finished with giant burrito in Scappoose and back to do some cleanup around the house.

Gonna do some homework and make it an early night.
