Date Skied: Friday February 16, 2007
Ski Area: Mt Snow
Conditions: Wind blown powder
I arrived at the main lodge area at 9:35 the summit lifts were on a wind hold. I went to the clock tower to meet my fellow AZers and waited till 10:30, no one showed. I was in a real quandry as to what to do. I bought a ticket and booted up, just as I got outside they opened the Grand Summit Express. The top was unbelievably windy. If you stood still you got blown backwards. At the top I found no AZers. The North Face was closed. I skied most everything on the main face with multiple trips down Ego Alley which was deserted! Later in the day they opened the North Face but as I was alone I didn't try it. I skied till 3:00 when my legs gave out.
On the way home on route 100 just south of the road to Haystack I was one of the first vehicles on the scene of a horrendous 2 car head-on accident. I was able to make the 911 call with my cell and stuck around assisting the injured for about 40 minutes. As I was leaving the police were setting up a landing site for a medivac helicopter. Boy as I was driving away I was so grateful that it wasn't my number that was up today!
The skiing was great, the crowds weren't too bad, but I did miss meeting you guys!
