And the long winded next part of the day report - Very nice day, warm from the starting gate, maybe not as blue bird with some high stuff blowing through, but still warm and nice enough to have a really big hamster kinda day. No crowds all day, no lift lines ever, nice early morning groomers on Lucky and MiddleIceFerkBerg (MIFB). I was nice to #1 and did Kellys Gap and lower E before the lunch run. Started doing SunnySide around 10 today and it just got better all day. Had a nice quiet CB lodge soup run late morning – kinda sad though, no Chick Noodle (WHAT?). Finally re-checked the HC mess today – still pretty impressive and they are still pushing a lot of snow around. After that back to the REX treadmill, everything softer, everything more fun, kept repeating it till way late in the day for me, it was pretty sad having the whole front side of REX to myself with nobody else around to enjoy it – another so sad suffering moment (like 1 second anyway). Crystal was pretty empty today and almost deserted when we left. Season is truly sadly almost over…at least the lift served season – touring crowd is starting to salivate….Gotta say it has been a great spring skiing run over the last week or so…I live for these kind of days.
Other – As noted no Chicken Noodle! and I finally brought my own BIG soup spoon today…So I did the Triple C – it was very good, a little spicy and lots of “unknown” good tasting things in it. The A parking lot looked like it had been kind of full, but it was getting pretty empty when we drove away. Some overflow towards C???? Found my at least third season pass today – tower four on REX, kept looking at it for most of the middle of the day, finally picked it up – Gave Brian(?) a couple of Gondy rides to his total for the season as we were leaving. Office said I qualified for another GOLD Star on my new/old pass. (I’m gonna sell the next one). Big news is that is a solid fact as of this morning – the new HC chair will really be a 2 banger like Northway, a little more expensive than the cheap triple, but apparently John really does like us! Other not so good news – REX is not on the spring schedule yet, but I keep bugging everyone I know that it should be….though it would probably make everyone happy if I moved my spring skiing to Blackcomb after this next weekend……
