Crystal - 01/27 Never Ending Sunny Hamster Heaven

Ski Report - Short version Ish...Twas very nice I am very sorry if you didn't go!

Wordy Ski Report - OUCH! FUN! Perfect day for a rodent hamster in a never-ending treadmill! Grooming was still great, but not as expansive as other days, no pro course grooming, narrower LS and maybe not such perfect grooming cause of the warming sun....and today the SUN was very warm from the start up top (coldish at the base early). Fairly lite crowds even with the PISA instructor convention with all their family members...had to ride REX with various folks which can be very entertaining. Got a lot of vert over the first couple of hours in hamster mode, but sadly not much info about the "whole" mountain...only did GV Bowl (awesome still center line) to MIFB and LS....plus one run on Downhill to Rolling K, plus as I finished my long (?) morning down Stumpfarm which was just fine for my quads. As noted, it was very warm up top, dropped to mid weight gloves and almost downsized other clothes, but since I bailed out around noon, I just opened up the wing vents. Great fun (as usual...duh).

Other - Harassed the CB lodge workers around 10:45...they suffer me and it is an enjoyable break...don't think we resolved many of my mental problems. Did the same at the base in Guest Services....especially the former MS Kennidi....since now she is MS some new last name....based on the pics she was an incredible bride!

Other Other - Special folks lot was big and not full, rest of A was pushing way past 1/2 full, B was incredibly full way past the Honey Bucket station...till if you paid attention most of the lot was ultra-wide double rows....or ultra-wide single rows? C lot was fairly full and that was about it. Drive up extra ultra early was empty and pleasant....Drive down would have been as nice except for the jerk (employee?) who tailgated me at 45+ down the blvd...passed me and another car on the second to last straight away....and then was stopped at the bottom of the Blvd and acted like he needed a confrontation....did the same thing to me at Ranger Creek...complete stop and what? Driving a dirty older Subaru...total jerk! Oh well till he f's my truck in the parking lot... well rest of the drive was pleasant at speed in the never-ending sunny January...

Willys was good, best laps were on Memorial, Sunnyside and Doors after 1pm when the snow softened to perfect spring conditions. Big shot was good early afternoon, but started to set up by 3pm when it gets in the shade. Spring skiing is good, but still prefer to see some storms moving in. Grooming crew is doing an excellent job considering lack of new snow for the last couple of weeks. Heard another report this morning of the brown bag patrol in the Campbell Lodge midweek, beware!
