California Chutes
Two split boarders and one snowboarder with snow shoes. Peter and Dan bailed because they were hungover, and because they bailed they had excellent snow without having to climb up, not to mention the resort was empty.

Two split boarders and one snowboarder with snow shoes. Peter and Dan bailed because they were hungover, and because they bailed they had excellent snow without having to climb up, not to mention the resort was empty.
Mostly clear visibility, low avalanche danger.
Took Kirkwood chair 4 at around 11:30 to tow rope and
skinned up. Traversed and descended a
very soft south facing aspect. Got
scared at the sight of the California chutes and turned without descending to Emigrant lake so they could still catch a chair back.
In the meantime Peter and Dan were hunting/killing corn in
bounds. Though because of the lack of
people it felt like Peter and Dan were in the backcountry, Peter even had his
beacon on. Dan and Peter found tons of
sweet corn in the Palisades where they traversed to because they weren't slowed
down by skiers in training and the snowboarder.
Dan and Peter celebrated with a Bloody Mary at the bottom of the lift,
while Elaine was tumbling down in the backcountry.
