LOVE your video :) what kind of skis do you like for powder?
@the_woo_skier3 ай бұрын
Thank you! Well in this video I'm on my Liberty Origin 101's, but they don't really have the float I want or the stability I want for speed, now that my skill has progressed. I'm planning to get a pair of Moment Wildcat 108's for next season, which are both wider with more float and more stable. Chris and Elvira ski on the smaller Wildcat, the 101, as their everyday ski, but I have my Armada Declivity 92ti skis for the hardpack days.

@clarkastro2510 you have the right to say that and he does not it should be a blue but it’s a pitty black and he should not have said WARMING UP ONA BLACK DIMOND because it wasn’t but was clickbait
@the_woo_skier5 ай бұрын
I'm sorry if you felt click baited. It definitely is the easiest black run on the mountain. At the time I uploaded this, it was still and accomplishment for me that I started the day on a black diamond run, especially since it was my 2nd day skiing and I usually am very sore after a day of skiing. I have been getting better this season and have now done more black runs, such as Conestoga and Zachary. I have been behind on editing because of some recent life changes, but stay tuned for those runs. I will try to be more careful with my video titles in the future.

Sorry to say that none of these runs you videoed are black diamond runs at Kirkwood. They are all blue runs. Nice looking conditions that day though.
@the_woo_skier Жыл бұрын
That is inaccurate. The first run I ski in the video is Wagon Trail, a black diamond run off of Chair 11. The remainder of the runs are blue runs. You can check the Kirkwood ski trail map, but I also indicate the level of each run (green, blue, black) by the color of the text which displays the name of the run.
@clarkastro2510 Жыл бұрын
@@the_woo_skier My bad your right, they do list Wagon Trail as a Black. Likely because it is narrow & has the lift towers. The first run you guy's did on the back side can actually be a tougher run at times but I suppose they needed a Blue on that that side for people to pick as the rest of the runs can get you in trouble if your not that accomplished of a skier and it's quite wide. They also keep it groomed and do not let bumps build up.

Golly Gosh! That looks like heaps of fun!!! I just so happen to be going there for skii week, Do you have any pointers fore me, as i am not new to this whole snowboarding experience, but have gone before. This will be my first time at boreal because i have gone to northsater all my life. I am super excited to go and are counting down the days! I am such a great fan of you as i like to do sports in the snow! I am also wondering if you are going to be there on the 18th of february i would love to see you there as my birthday was yesterday!🙀🙀🙀

Thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoy! And Happy Birthday! I am not currently planning to go to Boreal again this season, as my passes are to Northstar/Kirkwood/Heavenly and Sierra. Boreal is a really really small mountain compared to Northstar, so all the runs will be shorter than you get at Northstar, but they stay open into the night so you can ski for longer each day. You can see Northstar from the summit on a clear day. You can see it on my most recent Boreal video. Here are my pointers about Boreal: DO NOT take the magic carpet. They got too much snowpack this year, and as a result you have to hike up about 3 ft of elevation just to get off the top of the carpet. It’s not fun. Use the lifts. The California Cruiser runs very slowly and is easy to use and uncrowded, as the Castle Peak Quad goes to almost the same spot and runs faster for experienced lift riders. If you are comfortable with blue runs, the lost dutchman lift is the BEST part of the mountain. I would get there via the 49er lift. You can return down Sunset Boulevard and if you keep your momentum up you’ll make it back to the base area. If you aren’t comfortable with blue runs, my only advice is: do not ride the Accelerator Quad to get to Sunset or Sunrise boulevard (green runs). The traverse from the center of the mountain is brutal on skis, it’s got to be even worse on a snowboard. If you want to ride Sunrise Boulevard, ride up the Cedar Ridge lift. If you want to ride Sunset Boulevard, ride up the 49er lift. You lose far more time traversing from the center than you gain by riding the faster lift. After 4pm when the night skiing begins, they close everything except the center/front of the mountain, so you can’t traverse over to the green runs, and you either have to take prospector or stick to the mid-mountain lifts (California Cruiser and Castle Peak Quad). They don’t always remember to put the “no beginner runs” sign up at the entrance to the Accelerator Quad when this happens, so just be aware of the time. Prospector (the main run down from the Accelerator Quad) is a great run for getting used to blue run steepness. It starts out steep but quickly gets shallower. They also have a run that bypasses the steep part called “lower cut”, but this run can get very narrow, especially when there has recently been fresh snow, and in that case it can actually be more difficult, so be aware of that. I don’t have any snowboarding pointers because I haven’t ever ridden a snowboard. Good luck and have fun!

Terrible skiers. Almost ALL bunny slope and 10% West bowl.
@the_woo_skier Жыл бұрын
As I said in the video description, only the bunny slope and rock garden were open. The point of this video was to show what Sierra looked like on its opening day after the Caldor Fire. We would have definitely went into the West Bowl if it was open, as you can watch in our more recent Sierra video, “Surprise Blue Skies over West Bowl”. You may still think we’re terrible skiers, but I assure you we do a lot more than bunny slopes!

Note* I got the run name wrong where it says Cloud 9 / Olympic Downhill. We had just gotten off of Big Easy, and were on Silver Spur and Crossover.
