Day 6: A-Basin and the Double Line

Got a VERY late start and left Lakewood at 10am, roads were icy and snowpacked all the way up to the Basin, and it was some of the worst highway grooming I've seen in a while. Way to go CDOT!

Got to the parking lot at 11:30 and was on the hill by noon. Took one top to bottom run on some nice groomers. The top inch of new snow made for some decent corduroy. After my warmup run, I found the double set in the mini park just above High Noon. Seen here:

These jumps are pretty tiny, and you need all the speed you can get from the first one to clear the second. The landings were excellent and not icy at all, and proved to be a good spot to throw the first 3's of the year. I could use a little work still, but I stomped the rotation a couple times.

Above the jumps are a half-dozen boxes and rails that are pretty smooth and easy to play on. The majority of their rails are still stored off-trail just below the first lift, and it doesn't look like they've even started planning the bigger park, just not enough snow.
