We have been riding (telemarking) A-Basin so far this year. They have two runs open, plus the park. Not much, but for October you really can't complain. The snow has been pretty good - hard in the mornings and then soft in the afternoons.
It's been a great time practicing new tricks, getting the legs back in shape, and messing around. Once the rest of the mountains open up - and especially the backcountry - I have a feeling that this is going to be a great season.
Here is some early video footage of us telemarking at A-Basin.
Any other crew going up there? I'm always there in the line for first chair.
