Padded Seat Update 16/17

^^^ Thanks.

Bluebird and powder, and an 8:45 AM start (Day 1)
Cold snow on top of yesterday's soft surface
The Ice Age is a distant memory
Parking lots filled, I haven't been in any Lodge all year (other than Jackson)
Lines good until 10, then bigger but not bad
E gate/Heavenly Trees to end the day

Here is the less wordy report:

Rode the lift with my ol' HWS Crew

and this guy. nice to share a padded ride w/ ya

Nipple deep, Elevator cracked just after noon
Shot 6 shuttered at 2, padded seats closed one ride early
Beat the pass closure out by less than a minute thirty

I didn't think, that we would see a day better than the 28th
Today was it, with the bonus of smaller crowds and earlier E gate drop
Would not have survived those two E gate laps
If not for the generosity of bobby
Thanks for the Capri Sun (Wild Cherry!)

Again, here is the less wordy report (apologies in advance for all the wohoos, hollers and OMGs):
