sand 17 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Rusutsu was amazing today!!! Had to wait a little while for the lifts to start up.....but once they did!!! Knee ~ waist deep in spots. Bad wind on Isola and some real hard packed snow but the Heavenly and Steamboat areas were insane!! Best runs of my season so far! Still snowing now as we're leaving.....tomorrow will be another unbelievable day!!! Just out of curiosity, what time did the lifts get going, I was umming and arring about going today and stupidly decided not to... But I will be there tomorrow... Link to post Share on other sites
sapporo 8 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The gondola up to the top of East mtn started around 9:40. They were announcing that Isola was closed but we headed over that way anyway at around 10:30 and all the lifts were up and running (the pair lift back to the gondola station at East mtn was still shut at 1:40, they said it was due to open at sometime soon, but we didn't wait and got the other pair lift instead. Was VERY windy and poor vis at the top of Isola. Must be plenty still left for u tomorrow!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think u were the only one umming and arring Seemore. Apart from the initial endless lines to get on the gondola, it was relatively deserted. Hardly saw anyother riders! Have fun tomorrow! Kokusai for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Mag, did u go to Racey today? Teine was good....I bumped into Evan, Meghan n Gracey, shared a line down bowl 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Yeah we went to Racey. Some people might have been a little hungover this morning, so it was a late start. It was really deep though, and a good day, Racey just doesn't have the steepness or more exciting lines that Teine has. Looking forward to tomorrow! Link to post Share on other sites
