Ski Report - Yesterday was cold...today started with Blue Bird
sky and even colder! Had to use my hood over my brain bucket.
Groomers I did were nice, but the ultra cold light new got skied
off to the boiler plate ice underneath...sun did start to soften
some southern facing slopes, but my BMW's definitely need a big
edge sharpening...might go back to my EXP's. There are rocks
on the slopes, but mostly can be skied around. Clouds started 
blowing in just above the mountains late morning. The most
challenging thing today was trying not to get run over by the 
older "athletes" from the comp today when they were free 
skiing...ouch fast downhillers. Fun to get two days in a row...
first time this season. Only skied one run on FQex - Queens to
Slow Silver which had very nice groomed quality.

Other - Paused in CB lodge for a very good Barby Chick pizza, got
a spare slice wrapped up by the staff to take home! Sat in the 
bar to watch the huckers on the Throne...lots of standing
around.

Other Other - Drive up much more mellow than yesterday except for
the blvd which was completely covered with snow and I had a very
safe driver in front of me.  Special folks lot had lots of cars,
rest of A lot might have been pushing half, B was badly parked 
rows pasted the Honey Bucket station as was the C lot...definitely
less folks today. Drive down was very close to totally happy.
