Daily Vert: 1200m
Total Vert so far: 5200m
A fun day skiing on Metal Dome with Rico. We drove up the access road to the brandywine cabin, as far as the steep corner, about half way up. Took about 20 mins to skin to the cabin from there, and then just over 2 hours to the top of the line, including breaks.
Wind was absolutely howling so it was pretty cold, and due to the arctic outflow the wind had changed direction so lots of things were reverse loaded.
Took 2 short laps on the North Face, which was mostly wind hammered by found a few sheltered sections, then skied back down the south ridge, which was ok but quite variable due to the reverse loading.
Was able to ski all the way back to the car pretty easily, coverage in the woods was mostly pretty good, although did put some bad rock rash on my skis near the end as the snow on the road was pretty thin plus had been churned up by the sleds.
