Ocean Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 haha good one. I still have my skis from the 90s but even back then I did not do so well with them on DNF lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Pic Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Probably because...Back when DNF was open it was always pure ice unless a snowfall occurred that day or the previous day. They also only had it open for about 30% of the ski season on average as it was too steep to get a proper base. When I skied it a couple weeks ago it was perfect because we have had so much snowfall this year it just felt like I was skiing another ungroomed powder trail in the Rockies.

Ocean Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 @Tommy Pic awesome! And yeah, I maybe got taken down DNF once with a hotshot ski instructor back in the day, but I remember more we would do Shotgun and get to that one super steep pitch and it would be sheet ice. I remember just edging down the edge of the trail. Although there were at least a few times I did it on my own. Last time would have been 8th grade so maybe 1991? I actually have not been on Shotgun in the recent years I've been back to Edelweiss because it's closed at night. I'm wondering if I'd still be freaked out by the pitch, I find even Streif is slightly terrifying on that one section lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Pic Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Shotgun has been phenomenal this year. About a month ago it was covered with some sick moguls!!! Ocean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
