And the middle opinion report for today, unless anyone else wants to jump in - Gotta say today was a pretty nice day – Fireman opinion? Arrived very late to a filling free part of A and a very very small pay lot. Might have been in C if the pay folks were still skiing. Quick change and jumped onto CHex just after it started loading, snowing nicely again this morning. Started with half a Valley and SunnySide, a lot better quality new today till the bottom half of SunnySide where the firm cut up left overs from yesterday started getting entertaining. Definitely a day to stay above around 6K on the mountain…that made HC pretty pleasant most of the day – except for the incredibly slow Ch6 ride ( in the good “old” days a 6 minute ride was nice, then things went to the 7 minute “painful” ride for many folks…today was a 8 minute ride – ouch, but the 2 minute run down either side of the chair were very nice in the nice vis sunny conditions). Vis was mostly nice, sometimes actually great, some sun, some snow fall most of the day, some grey every once in a while. Had some great runs down PB skier right side mostly, BP’s was nice on top but a little more challenging down low (as most of the mountain was). Spent most of the afternoon doing the Valley (skier right side) to Middle(IceBerg) Ferk’s, good combination of left over untracked deep snow pillows up top to very nice slalom hard carveing turns down low. Hamster day for me, not much variety, just a nice go were ever, when ever.
Other – CB lodge is starting to work me over hard on the soup – CHICK NOODLE again today! ( if I don’t get sick from the left overs all is good) Starting to really put an impact on my skiing schedule – missed another run cause of it today. Lots of sun breaks during the afternoon, very sticky snow conditions at the base (very nasty). Some over flow parking into C lot, one bus in A today. No lift line.
