Hat's off to the strong souls that have reported and survived this storm

I'll add our report on the Newlin USGS quad, folks don't talk about this terrain very much; whether its to harsh or not harsh enough; well, you can be the judge.
We started the day in a local terrain park
Then it is the long slog up to the high terrain
Descents down the groomers aren't bad
But then you have to deal with the manual lift
WHICH IS still good as it leads you to the BackBowls
Two final videos -- it was a fun day --

man I have a pair of the same model of those old school K2s in my basement. I hide my skiing past...
good stuff david and everyone else posting. these are really fun reading. love the useful bc hints as well - thumbs up!
not really enough snow here in sw durham to carve, only about binding plate deep and tracked out fast. got some sled runs on the massive 6 foot vertical front yard - this is suburbia so no couloirs here. strange combination of cold frozen slush and light snow. was hoping for some xc action but that would have ruined the skis.
glad to see high speed lifts were avoided!

looks pretty fun, I am out of school tomorrow and still have all of my front and back yards covered somewhat so I am going to gather what I can and throw something together in the backyard. I will post pics and maybe video tomorrow.
