Warming up on a Black Diamond Run! (Kirkwood Trip - 2/3)

Kirkwood Ski Trip - Day 2 of 3
Our lodge was directly beside The Reut, so @benmetzger1547 and I decided to warm up on a Black Diamond run, Wagon Trail!
Then, Chris, Elvira and I make our way over to Sunrise for a couple runs. Sadly, Happiness Is was not groomed, and was fairly chopped up by the time we got there.
The wind at the summit was intense. On sore legs, and humbled by the awesome experience of being on the summit, I opted to stick to the groomer. Chris had an off-piste wipeout into a fluffy pillow of powder.
It might pale in comparison to the first day of the trip, but it was still a fantastic day in its own right.

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.

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.

@@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.

@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_skier]

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.
