Crystal - 04/13 Last Thursday of the Season...Ouch! was created by ddk
Ski report - Cold not spring day, in and out on early vis...but mostly okay...got better and better all morning, Groomers great (well LS and MIFB), totally a hamster day for me.... never made it farther north than the main GVex groomer run to MIFB and never farther south than Downhill to Rolling Knolls after my CB lodge visit. Fun screamer carving groomer runs mostly...the EXP's were very happy...as I was also, but I did try to pound in a ski line in to GV Bowl left side of Pro Course (which didn't get groomed last night...why?) Expected a big crowd cause of the $60 day...thankfully the last for the season...but also the last Thursday...so sad with the snowpack deeper and more solid than I have ever seen...no brown spots under REX at the top, no brown spots anywhere...ouch! Dang it! So sad. No lift lines on REX and FQex that I noticed...even with a fair amount of folks on the slopes skiing in packs of...?
Other - Paused at CB lodge earlier today...and all the prime window seats were taken? Got a great custom Chicken Noodle soup bowl that was excellent and a slice of pizza that I'm still working on for evening appetizer...Mozzarella with tomato and peppers and stuff and it is still tasty...Actual crowd in CB lodge was pretty mellow.
Other Other - A lot was maybe 3/4 full, B was pushing big as was C...so there were a lot of cars on the mountain at least. Drive up and down was happy end of season mellow when I did them...fair number of elk around Greenwater...but not bad. Another fun cold day in the season that never had any real spring.
Other Other Other - Have to complement Mr Employee Housing John who had a goal of 100 EH laps this season....and sadly (ha ha) had to bump it up to 140....think he only needs 4 more in the next few days...I think he should shoot for 150...wonder if anybody knows what the record for a season is? And also, Mr Binx who should be well past 80 days for the season...a very nice number for his first retired ski season!
