Blue skies, feet of new snow, and as we got to the top of summit, ski patrol opened high T for the first time that season. I was on skis but I was with two other boarders, so naturally I was pretty far ahead on the traverse. They couldn’t make it all the way, but I had that perfect drop in and I didn’t want to go back. I wouldn’t ski alone, but as I was about to turn back, another skier said to me “you watch my back and I’ve got yours, alright?” So I got my perfect powder turns and I knew I was safe.
