padded seats shut down after downloading most of mornings patrol. was informed that an ice ax was the required equipment for down hill sliding from upper mtn.
debbies was the lift of the day and lowers were the option. not bad from 4k to 3.5k, better below that. light crowd and ample parking front row.
early beer and coffee
