Adrienne (an old friend from Sugarbush that had moved to JHole) and I went up the pass on 11/13/07 and hiked for some sick, fluffy turns after the first clear day post storm. Kinda funny, since the route we chose (eidleweiess) wasn't getting much traffic and the boot pack or lack there of was none existent. Everyone was skinning up that day so there was no actual boot pack. Adrienne and I, being boarders had to strap our boards onto our backs and hike, making fresh tracks through waist deep snow. The killer part was that every step we took we would be above the snow and then all of sudden just fall through! Yeah! We called that phase 3, and phase 3 sucked, but it was worth it because phase 4 was a super delicious long run with a couple little drops, deep deep pow, and some fallen trees! Phase 1 was the hike up the road to trail, phase 2 was a some quick turns down to the valley where phase 3 started up, phase 5 was the hike back to the road, and phase 6 was strapping in and taking some turns to get back to the car! Yeah for winter-FINALLY
