Day 80 paying the price for adventure.
Keystone, 6" of powder. So far this year I have been improving steadily. Went out today and decide to put the skills to the test. Time to go all out, no brains, bombing the hill, crushing the trees checking up as little as possible. Well it was awesome. Went straight to the outback at Keystone and bombed a couple of runs to start the day. Then I headed for the trees, So much fun with 6" and some small moguls to hit jumps in the trees. Just crushed it for about 3 hours, Then I paid the price. So I'm in the trees just cruising ducking in and out, when I notice that the tracks i have been following are gone, and its just me in the trees and the powder is getting deeper and deeper. Well lets just say I got a bit in over my head. Powder up to the middle of my belly, no momentum, dead stuck CRAP!!!!! I decide to unstrap and walk out. Yeah good luck with that, so after 1 hour of postholing up to my belly I find a cat track, then head to the parking lot, done for the day. Yeah on top of the powder nightmare, I think I might have sprained my left wrist, hurts like hell to rotate it, so it looks like I'll be sporting the wrist brace the rest of the season. Well, lesson learned. If your going to be adventurous you will get in over your head on occasions.
