点评:Getting back on skis for the first time in 30+ years I have really caught the bug. I splurged and purchased my own skis but thought they arrived too late in the season. Thankfully the weather held out and I was able to sneak up to Biwabik.
It was a 3.5 hour drive and I thought I was crazy to do a solo day trip. Well, it all paid off when I stepped out of the car for the first time. What a beautiful place. The staff was friendly as they printed my RFID card and sent me on my way. The main lift is fast and put me at the top in no time.
I decided that I would ski every run at least once. I start in the middle of the hill and ran down Melbourne, then Snowbird and Sunshine. Next was Sajajevo (probably my favorite) before I headed to skiers left and raun Rocky Top/Solitude/Deer Valley. There was quite a bit of overnight freeze but decided that I'd do the 4 blacks since they are very short. Even these old bones could handle the few short turns to get to the bottom. The run back to the Rocky Top chair isn't great but not bad.
Next was skiers right and I really enjoyed the blues there. If I had been a little more adventurous I'd have run the Terrain park on the far skiers right a few times. It was completely empty and there were some really nice rollers.
Having skied just in the TC and then at Winter Park this year I was afraid here was nothing in between. Well, Giants Ridge provided that wrong. Runs aren't Rocky Mountainesque but they are fairly long and the quantity of blue runs with the pitch are quite nice.
I'll definitely be back.
翻译:30 多年来第一次重新开始滑雪,我真的迷上了滑雪。我花了很多钱买了自己的滑雪板,但觉得它们来得太晚了。谢天谢地,天气很好,我得以偷偷溜到 Biwabik。
这是一个 3.5 小时的车程,我觉得独自进行一日游是疯了。好吧,当我第一次下车时,一切都得到了回报。多么美丽的地方。工作人员很友好,他们打印了我的 RFID 卡并送我上路。主缆车速度很快,很快就把我送到了山顶。
我决定每次滑雪至少要滑一次。我从山中间开始,滑下墨尔本,然后是 Snowbird 和 Sunshine。接下来是 Sajajevo(可能是我最喜欢的),然后我前往滑雪者的左边,然后滑下 Rocky Top/Solitude/Deer Valley。夜间相当寒冷,但我决定滑 4 个黑色雪道,因为它们很短。即使是这些老家伙也能应付几个短转弯到达山脚。回到 Rocky Top 椅子的路程不算好但也不算差。
接下来是滑雪者的右侧,我真的很喜欢那里的蓝色。如果我更有冒险精神,我会在远处滑雪者的右侧的地形公园跑几次。那里完全空无一人,而且有一些非常好的滚轮。
今年我只在 TC 滑过雪,然后在 Winter Park 滑过雪,我担心这里没有中间地带。好吧,巨人岭的安排不对。滑道不是 Rocky Mountains 式的,但它们相当长,而且坡度适中的蓝色滑道数量相当不错。
我一定会回来的。
