Just a great spring weekend. Skiied on Friday and Saturday in 60-65 degree temps. Soft snow, huge bumps. Missed out on Sunday because kids soccer season is here, a sure sign the ski season is almost over.

Was a little sad standing on top of the hill on Saturday at 4:00pm with my buddy Eski; stayed for a minute until the lift stopped, then blasted down Hellgate/Bleecker to the Ike bump course. Nailed the course down to the bottom.

Face is baked and legs are sore, but it's off to Belleayre this coming weekend, then my trip to Tucks the next week.

They'll have to drag me off kicking and screaming before I'll admit it's over!

Yesterday was awesome too...

I tele'd for a few hours then hung out on the deck with a couple hundred people..

We all snuck into the employee party but after a while they were just bringing the food out to the masses...

Great season!!!

I was there Friday. What a great day! Skiing was fun as can be. I think they sold less than 100 lift tickets that day. At the end of the day about 30 employees and skiiers hung out on the deck. The bar was closed early so the lifties brought out a keg and were very nice to let me get a few pops. My wife was jealous when I came home with a tan! I wish I brought my camera.

I tend have that effect on people :wink: ... for me, a stellar comeback for someone who's been trying to figure out how to walk a straight line for the past year and a half!
