And a whole lot more words about today:
Ski Report - Big Pow day and big pow crowd! Biggest lineups for CHex and the Bucket 45
minutes before the lifts started loading...Got first CHex chair and second Rex chair...did
beat the bucket to the top...and then my old wimpy sadly slow world made GV Bowl look
terrible...while everybody else was blowing past me...ouch! Did the one Valley run and then
LS to ski past the big line up on Rex..went over to FQex, no line, and skied Queens multiple
times for #1 and my whimpy brain and legs till I got cold enough to head into CB lodge to
warm up and whimp out. CH6 had an early big line up and was loading very early. Noticed lots
of bomb blasts in kinda not normal areas (Showtime top of Rex and across lookers left in PB.
Snow for me was not blower smoke and was actually bumping up in the few places I skied.
Crowd was pretty massive for a Wednesday in early January, but I expected it with the pent
up early season ski frenzy and massive overnight snow dump...had a couple inches new on my
truck when I left.
Other - As noted I spent some warmup time in CB lodge...tested the new "frozen" pizza crust...
actually, way better than the last couple of years. Saw a lot of folks for the first time this
season.
Other Other - Arrived at 7am to my fav parking spot and when I left the parking lot attendant
was waiting to help me get out of the spot since I had a car in front of me and a car behind
me...Ouch! oh well I've had worse situations. Special folks area was full, rest of A lot was
packed as was B and C and D and E and G and...oh that was about it....massive weekday crowd,
tomorrow might be bad with more new snow and $62 T days this month. Drive up ultra early was
better than expected and drive down should have been good...but....ouch. Got my number two
day over with and maybe a little quad muscle building.
