24 Feb 2025, quiet Monday one week after Presidents Day. About four days removed from last fresh snow, nice sunshine, mild temps around 40 degs F. Left Cottonwood Hgts at 8:43am. Arrived Snowbird Entry 4 (Bypass Rd) 9:05am (five minutes slower than optimum). Booted up at free, unreserved slopeside parking spot on Bypass road, 50' from cat track leading downhill to Peruvian chair. Empty, free ski-in/ski-out spots around me.
Caught Peruvian Chair at about 9:20 am. No lift line.
Headed through tunnel and straight to the sunshine in Mineral Basin.
Skied Mineral for about two hours this morning. Mostly stuck to the groom. Fine, edgeable surfaces. Nice place to be in bright sun and low crowds. Eventually a small crowd built and I went back to the frontside of the mountain, skiing briefly in the Little Cloud and Peruvian areas. Left the ski area at 11:30. Back home by 11:51am. The mountain is my gym
Almost forgot, good song came on the radio (fav station here is KRCL, 90.9) on the drive home.
