April 13, 2013 Alpental

Excellent all day. Tracks filled in continually. Huge line at Chair 2 for a good part of the day. Shot 4 was totally refilled when I cruised through about 4pm.

One note. If you are drinking beer in the Chair 2 line (and I'm not recommending this) a) be discrete and b) drink something better than Pabst Blue Urine. This was the first time I've seen people doing this in line (probably because I'm clueless and unobservant) at Alpental. I always see it at Stevens Pass though.

my crew will help enlighten you to the powers of beer while shuffling in the padded seat lift line.

Beer drinking no prob IMHO but there was pipe smoking too and a ton of it also. I know its legal and all and I have no beef about anyone using it, but not a great example when there are 10yr olds in the line laughing and getting inquisitive about what those cool guys are smoking.

However, it was a mighty day up there. Stayed cold all day with lots of storm snow accumulation throughout the day. Also lots of cracks and slabs kicked off too but we all know about those now.

And Chuck, I know you are an experienced Alpentalic, but that line was tame, 7-8 mins and 0 with a patroller bump! No line on Armstrong either.

If you smoke dope in the lift line @ Alpy, please do it more. A contact high would be appreciated.
Wait, whaaa? There's a beer better than PBR? You talkin' bout Milwaukee's Beast?
I doubt you saw someone drinking PBR at Stevens. They drink Rain-Dogs.

apparently I succeeded at both points of Chuck's request as he clearly didn't notice us putting away the vitamin R in line throughout the day
