17/18 Padded Seats

I went swimming.

Was that before or after the donut(s) & coffee?

You were missed yesterday, but how I missed Silas is beyond me ??? Maybe because his Tercel was buried in all that snow by the time the storm relented enough to afford a modicum of visibility

I suppose I should comment as a hat trick of pass closures kept the Pugetopoloids at bay

Don't worry, we still made it. Just required patience. I wasn't there til almost noon and still found myself breaking trail for some of the skier's right lines on Edelweiss Bowl.

Yesterday was just another mediocre day

Here is the proof:

THE first day of a long ski school season
wettish snow with dryish atmosphere
on piste skied like spring off summer
LoTs full of eager pampered youngsters

the area filled up fast today with no parking management coordinator
the grooming, well there was an attempt but less than mediocre
clear skies overnight allowed the ruts and debris to solidly form firm
good times down Edelweiss required everyone to ski&board together

Over at Central we heard tales of people who arrived at around noon driving around for an hour to find parking. But the skiing itself was mostly pretty fun spring like conditions. Some ice between moguls on 360 and parachute. Crossover to and from east isn't open yet.
