DallaSnowfinder #006 - Bankei

Normally I don't ride at Bankei because it isn't very challenging and the few steep runs they have are mogul fields.   Today was alright.  No lift lines and 10+ cm of new dry powder, still not enough to fill in those monster moguls, so I tried to stay off course.  Last year my good friend Manabu showed me a cat track that starts at the top and follows the backside of the mountain all the way around to the bottom.  I guess they only use it to maintain the electrical towers that are scattered all over the mountain because it was really powdery.  The track is also a lot of fun cuz you can carve up and down the wall on the right all the way down.  Bankei is just too small but its nice if I'm feeling lazy because its only ten minutes from my apartment.
