Two Ocean Powder

A Classic Two Ocean Powder Day
Absaroka Range, Togwotee Pass Area
December 13th, 2009

First time out this year on the ol' split board.


Whoooweee is fun riding a board in powder!



Chuck and Karla in action.


Taking aim.


Looking back.


Chuck and Karla on top of Two Ocean, getting ready for another ride down it.


The snow was looking so good out at the truck, Chuck decided the only way that he'd be able to stop himself from leaving us in the dust was if he didn't use skins. Actually, some how his skins got left behind. Found out Chuck doesn't need skins though. He boot packed the mountain three times. Keeping up with folks on skins too. In fact some dude toolin' around with a Nebraska feller was so floored Chuck was rompin' up the mountain without skins all he could muster for comment was a complaint about "Too many damned people on the mountain and snowboarders tearin' up his skin track!" No worries, we put the track back in on our third and fourth laps. I don't think there were any more people on Two Ocean then I normally see. It's always got skiers on it. At least today, most of them were from Lander. Regardless, it was a good day to be on it... enough snow for everyone!


Karla drops in on another run.





Chuck drops in.


And rips it up!


The end of another great powder day on Two Ocean Mountain.

Your party should have put in their own track on the first trip up rather than destroying an existing one first. You would be doing well to be able to keep up with that Nebraskan(UT Transplant)too!

Brad, thanks for posting. In reality our party of three had one guy that was boot packing. There were tow other groups on the mountain that both had multiple boarders on snow shoes. Even so, we were the last ones off the hill that day- used the trail many times after you whined about it. Worked great each time. You and your NE bud should get out with us sometime or another- you're always welcome. Just give a holler! Hope to head up there again maybe tomorrow.
