Day 42 - Nakiska

New definition for 3f - firm, firmer, firmest! Out 9:00 to 1:00 with a coffee break; sunny with temps in the upper twenties and a stiff wind the higher up on the hill you went; 20 runs; 28,640 vertical; skied the Fischer RC4 GS Cheater 18's; firm and crunchy everywhere - not much snow here - lots of closed trails; didn't get to ski many of the Olympic courses - the top of the DH was closed because of no snow, the SL was closed for snow making, and the SG/bottom of the DH was closed for training - that left the GS, it was firm and rolly but overall flatter than I would have expected; Nakiska is now an Alpine Canada training site and man were they out in force - SL on this slope, GS followed by SL on another, and at least 100 athletes competing on the skier cross course; nobody else on the hill today - no lift line; I'll do one more run tomorrow to get to 30,000 vert; it's really beautiful here.
