Date(s) Skied: Ski Sundown
Resort or Ski Area: 3.3.11
Conditions: chilly, blue skies
Trip Report: as far as the snow conditions - it was warm then it got cold, you can do the math.
First run was down Gunny. I was hoping the sun loosed up the snow but it wasn't to be. Like adversity, frozen bumps do not build character, they reveal it - so i skied elsewhere the rest of the day. Only skied for a couple of hours, kept company by my ipod. i thought about hitting the jumps on Stinger but they were huge and i couldn't muster the courage.
Did venture back Gunny one last time and found the ski patrol training again so i stopped to watch. it was almost comical to see, both the lead person on the sled and the rope holder were struggling in the icey bumps, it was very difficult to set an edge. there was a 4th patroller overseeing that action so i skied over to ask how it was going (cuz someone suggested actually talking TO them rather than ABOUT them) Turns out they are training for a national compition and the girl at the front of the sled had placed 2nd in the nationals last year
not the best day of the season for me, wish my edges were sharper.
waved to Carrie as i left but she didn't see me.
