Skiing Vail Back Bowls on Jan 9, 2014

[@Ncharlestun]

The fresh snow had stopped falling by Thursday, Jan 16, 2014. I arrived on the 20th at EGE Airport and skied 21, 22, and 23 on packed surface and extremely bright sun, no powder. A couple days after I left on the 24th it started snowing again and has been going strong ever since. Next time I will go in Feb. or March. Be sure to go to The George bar when in Vail. I hope to go back next year. Some Vail youtube videos hide the steepness of the area but yours shows the steepness. Good job. It is not for the beginning faint of heart skier, especially when it is all packed.

I was in the back bowls a few days ago 12/14/15 . Your trip looked alot easier. I was stuck with moguls all the way down to the bottom. my thighs were killing me by the bottom.

Skied a lot of places and Vail is still 1 on my list by a pretty large margin :)

Special place

What skis were you skiing here? In particular, I'm curious what waist width they were. I just got Rossi 88hd and am concerned that they won't be wide ebkgtb for powder skiing.

[@bobnoonan3376]

Looks like I was on Rossi E98s (98 underfoot). They were my everyday go-to skis. I also had a pair of Atomic Automatics (117 underfoot) for deeper pow. I am a fairly big guy 6'1" and 190 lbs and like a relatively wide ski.

[@glamoc0000]

Thanks. Are those 98mm skis easy to handle on groomed terrain? What I hear is that the wider the ski , the more difficult to handle on piste

[@bobnoonan3376]

I am now on Nordica Enforcers (100mm). They ski anything including on piste, easily. Probably wouldn't like icy New England conditions.
