18/19 'Yakyard Report

Yeah, the uphill crowd was getting after it yesterday. I only suffered a single-digit number of runs on Sat. before pulling the plug and heading into town for a friend's birthday shindig. Consequentially, I didn't enjoy Sunday morning nearly as much but after a lunchtime power nap, enjoyed the afternoon sunshine enjoy to stay out for the remainder of the day.

This morning's elbow-rubbing w/ the silver hair crowd on Silver Fir was a different story - after the most eastern of the Acres were flattened in the first hour, most folks went away and left enough stashes on Triple 60 to make it worth a longer stay.

1/8 Stopped by silver fir about 1, Lift was closed, not sure if it ever opened. I had my meadow skipper/family picnic ski set up and planed to do a little walkabout over to grand junction. The hill was empty, I had to ski down, it was awesome skiing, light gear is about ridiculous. But 4in of fluff over groomed made it doable

voly patrol at the hack in full force today
they appear eager to slay the fresh cord

holy busy parking lot freeway parking anywhere the fuck they want crowd at the pass today. lifts not busy but the jerry was in full effect. newest puget sound winter activity is park anywhere there's snow and let the games begin.

Two decent days scraping around the yakyard with friends old & new. The sun-facing terrain softened nicely on Sat. while the freezing fog frost offered good turns in the shade on Sun. Grooming was better than expected and despite thin cover in a few places, everything's still in play. Glad I have my own parking spot & warming hut, though, as the base area was an Epicâ„¢ gongshow. I'm impressed with the number of people in the bar Sat. evening that the floor didn't go.

Well if that wasn't a *solid* holiday weekend, I don't know what is...
