Headed out for a ride on Saturday as the snow had been falling all night, and I also had a forced day off in the week. I decided to head on out over to Happo One as I hadn't been there for a while.
The weather was atrocious with full blizzard and white out conditions. I got all the way to the top and couldn't see a thing. I knew where I wanted to head and gingerly made my way over to "Sky Line". At the top of Sky Line I headed to the very right and found what I was looking for. On the very far right there are some brilliant tree runs. With the threes there it also provides better visibility as there is a contrast between the snow and trees. My confidence in my riding made for the tree runs to be much faster and a lot more scary
. I basically hit the same run again and again taking different lines through the trees. I did actually clip a few trees on the way and cause a few snow slides (but in a very safe and controlled area!).
The weather and my now well worn jacket conspired to me calling it quite an early end to the day. After 13:30 I was soaked through. I headed on down the mountain and stayed in the Happo One Ski School to dry off a little. By the time I dried off I was just simply too tired so called it a day.
