Thought I had it beat…..
To drive five hours to ski 3.5 hours, on one trail, a green circle no less (ouch), one would have to be insane, that’s stupid, wait for the good conditions, you’re crazy, on drugs. Wait, what……
Yep, it’s a drug. Fell off the wagon. Got the fix.
And it was a better fix than anticipated. It took several things to line up. The weather (bluebird, little wind), nothing I couldn’t blow off at work, free tickets (sweet – well it cost me a few cans of soup), never been there before (check), always nice to participate in an opening day, and a recon mission to see if I could ski here for a couple days. I think I could. Always looking for somewhere to bring the ski widow, she would love that hoity-toity hotel so I will probably be back here at some point. Wait for some good snow and come up mid-week.
Got a great work out on the mile long trail they had open. High speed quad led for many laps. Stayed on the edges where the snow softened up and had had a pretty good time getting out the cobwebs. The decent turnout was spread out pretty good on the hill and a big pile of food at the ticket booth was going to stock a lot of shelves at the local pantry. Never waited for a chair. Was solo on most rides. Skied 11:00 – 3:00 with a half hour lunch I packed. Glad I went. Even the ride up thru the notch got the adrenalin pumping a little. Great day to get out and take a ride, and do a little skiing in between.
