gapertimmy Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Trip: Ball Butte - West Sizide Date: 3/15/2007 Trip Report: It had simply been too long since I had been out on the sled, or for that matter, skiing at all. My last day was an epic 21" freshie fest at Willamette Pass, Yesterday however marked some of my first CORNPLABLOVIN TURNS of the season. Don't get me wrong, I heart the pow, and it is still winter, but corn is tehplab. The snow on the way out to the boundary was pretty manked up... firmbird, and runnels seen up on high in the hills had me a bit worried about the conditions we would find on Ball. But as it came time to boot up, the corn was looking good (and so was schralper, that sexy beast) Most definitely it appears as if Brokentop had a pretty good slide after the big storm cycle which was followed by this warming pattern (no surprise here). The crown, as you can see, started below high noon where the sun bakes inside the bowl and really spread pretty far. We saw a couple of d00ds ripping sickter turns down the bowl while we were drinking some Miller Champagne. Alot of the East Facing slopes and the flats had some pretty crazy runnels which made for mass picture fun. Needless to say, the corn was oh so plab You can't beat skinning in a t-shirt, having an excellent hill all to yourself, and finishing off the day with an Inversion IPA and some beautiful Central Oregon alpenglow.

Kevin_Matlock Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Here's what I heard: "blah blah blah ski... blah blah blah pow... blah blah blah INVERSION IPA ... blah blah blah some other stuff..." God that's good shit! Actually the skiing looks nice. You guys have full corn over there in Bend(over)? Might have to make a point to get over there.
