New to the area, Nick and I planned to use the day to check out some closer in terrain, analyze stability, and decide if it was worth staying for a few more days. Nick heading up for our first lap:
And heading back down:
Yep, that snow is good!
I dropped in farther up the ridge:
Our second lap we headed up the same valley as the first, but this time a bit further, finding another mini-golf zone. Nick:
The terrain and snow in this zone was great, so we headed back up our skin track for another lap. Nick went airborne:
and finished it up with some GS turns:
I dropped into a little hanging snowfield:
Then, at the last second, decided to do a flip off of a rock lower down my line, which didn't turn out very well:
Impressed with the terrain available at Hatcher and excited about the easily accessible high quality snow, Nick and I decided to head back the next day.
