You bet cha it was good early and it was corn everywhere. Skied lucky short early on sweet corn with my HS Sweetheart and a few laps on 9 with my Grand kids from Anacortes. SWEET, life is good. The traffic up at Mt Top is full of old mountain kindred spirited type folks, next time you see an old person shuffling along to gaze at the Big R, stop in respect, just might be an 90 year old former patroller from Baker, like I met today. she skied powder that was deep in "Bear Trap" I see gear whores all the time (self included) and think we are standing on the shoulders of our past. if you have two pairs of ski's you have one too many. the quiver is dead. Just ski it with what you got. by the way she called the Whitaker's twins, boys!!!!!!! She was a gem and had that look of a mountain person, she was just basking in the light of the mountain, not ponding down PBR's to be cool. you could tell she was the real deal and I took her in to the P Room to meet Lisa P, they chatted like they knew each other, they are kindred spirit's and I knew it.
