You don't know if you don't go.  Just cold enough to be snowing at 3100' at 10am.  Nice fresh tracks off chair2 for a few runs.  Tricky for an old guy on at gear after it got cut up.  Temps rising one degree per hour made for good exercise until we'd had enough by 1130.  Thanks to fa for driving and sr sitting.

they didn't operate much longer than we did, shuttered the hill down with the ever increasing temps. we caught a good window rolling up to a recently loading padded seat for some timely clean laps. nice lil session with my light weight buddy silas till the chunder took it's toll on his helium weight skis.
the road this morning was a mess from maintenance lot up with a locals red van plunged into snow wall, smiled and waved as we skittered on by. only soup was under a few inches new in the parking lot.
debris in lower I is big.

That's two weeks in a row of watching out for old guys on rando gear...

silas more then made up for any cost by laying back with me and Q during last springs silver mt. adventures.

Sounds like a fun morning, wish I had more time.

didn't need much if your timing was on, we'll see you on the hill soon enough.
