Too early to be smooth...

Son of Rattler is one of these wild runs at Deer Valley Resort. I like these schezophrenic runs a lot, because the litterally take me out of my comfort zone. Sure, skiing early in the season descent fraught with all kinds of surprises, especially when the snow cover is as light as it is this season.

The snow was highly unpredictable, windblown and breaking and turning the boards was uncertain, hard work. They were multiple stops, long moments of pauses and hesitations, but I managed to get down without falling, killing any forest animal or hitting a bad rock or a nasty stump.
This kind of run is definitely not recommended for all public, even with parental guidance, because the mere idea of accompanying any one in these woods is deeply flawed.
