Ponderosa!

Want to make a lot of people happy, groom Ponderosa. A pleasant surprise today - we carved it up pretty good in the sunshine, but it will be even better when it is groomed for the second time. One pass wider and I might be tempted to ski like MFW.

Our preseason weather and snow conditions are a gift that keeps on giving. The November wet stuff bent the alder, and a solid base was underneath before a machine got on the slopes. First grooming of  Pondo, no surprises, no scrape offs. Thank-you - it was a blast.

Ponderosa is probably my all time favourite run on Baldy - it existed before Dividend and Powderkeg. The Shaft was a blast back in the day groomed side to side - now that one I would not ski like MFW - he used to go straight down with 220?cm skis.

Shaft was also the run for GS races for Can-Am, Pontiac Cup, and BC Winter Games. 

Great groomer day in the sun.
