Another Photo Essay: Closing Day at Burke

[thetrailboss]

Closing Day came all too soon at Burke. It was one more day for great snow:

One last day of enjoying that great view, which made you feel so small.

The Dawn Patrol on Dippers.

One last day to enjoy your favorite trails:

And to ski with friends, old and new:

Time to get that last Poma Ride:

And enjoy some silliness:

And to thank those who made the season so great with their hard work and smiles:

But it had to end. That last Chair had to come:

At the end of the day, each enjoyed the mountain in their own way and reflected on what skiing Burke means before going off in their own direction:

Good night chair, good night air. Good night Burkies everywhere.

Thanks to those who made it so special. See you next season.

Nice pics, sad scene. I'm so happy I finally got to check Burke out, thanks TB.

Nicely done. It was indeed a beautiful day to close out the "official" season :beer: . I will probably still get some hiking in there yet this spring. I got first tracks in October and I plan on last tracks in late April/early May. There was a lot of snow left on some of the trails.
I can't believe how few people there were at the mountain Sunday with $15 tickets on such a great day.
I didn't carry my camera Sunday since I didn't have a pocket to stick it in

I especially like the mug shot of the guy with the Burke sticker on his helmet :wink:

Still good cover! Awesome for the upcoming event. Good earned turn potential with good base and no lifts. Powder for days....
