Trip report:
Wow! What a great day to ski with such nice people. I got to the mountain with my girlfriend about 9:40 under bluebird skys, light winds and temps in the low 20's.
As a beginner, my GF was a bit intimidated by the whole idea of skiing with a large group of people and opted not to ski this particular day
. I was dissapointed but that was her decision and there was nothing I could do to pursuade her to ski. She was content to stay in the lodge and just do some people watching.
I was standing outside the Peabody lodge looking for AZer's when I heard a voice ask me if I was looking for the Alpine Zone group and low and behold I met BobR. I am not even going to try to name all the AZer's I met today in case I forget to mention anyone. You know who you are.
This was the group at 10am.
We skied the mountain pretty thouroughly today hitting most of the heavy hitters. We started off with Ravine which had very nice snow,
then skied Cannon T2B which had eqally nice PP. The Tram was barely half full on any of our trips up it. Gary's held the best snow on the mountain IMO. It was groomed flat as a pancake and you could just let the skis fly.
It was a georgeous day as you can see.
A few of us flaked off for one run down Mid&Lower Harscrable to try our luck at the odd shaped, unevenly spaced bumps. I was actually surprsed to find them quite skiable. Here is a view and vid of some of our crew on Midle Hardscrabble.
Highlights for the day were when we were on the summit and an A-10 Warthog fightere jet came screaming jus over the tops of the trees rolled on its wing pulling a ton of G's. It was quite spectacular and we got to see it 5 or so times doing manuvers just above the trees.
Another highlight was going turn for turn with BobRr's 12or13y/o son who was on his snowboard. I had a great time skiing with him. Kids are so much fun to ski with because the have such a lust for life.
It was a real fun day and I was impressed at how well the group stayed together.
This is a pic of the group at lunch
and another just after lunch
Thanks to BobR for arrainging this trip and to everyone I skied with today (14+- AZer's)
