Finally, some fresh snow I didn't have to travel to ski. About 6" of fairly heavy snow fell overnight and early this morning at GP. Everything was pretty much in play, open or not.;) My best day at Greek this season by far. I got to ski the new glade, Labyrinth, not open, skied great, a little thin, but the dense snow offered resistance, and support. Odyssey was fantastic early in the morning, we lapped it three times. Aesop's glade, aka Ronnie's Run, was sweet, it was even open as thin and bare latter in the morning. Zeus, likewise, was open thin and bare. I didn't ski it, the sign was correct. I opted to poach Olympian, much better coverage there, no idea why it wasn't open. I didn't ski it until two o'clock, I was almost the first. Did three laps there before calling it a day at 3:30.

Labyrinth, the steepest part, a little scraped off.

Very nice. I'm assuming the knee feels better?
with all the skiing he has been doing he probably only needs one knee.

heck i'm surprised you didnt swing thru that way on your magical mystery tour.

Thanks guys, yep the knee felt great, four days of skiing in a row. Maybe RICE really works, well maybe more like rICE, I did lay in bed watching football with my knee on two pillows with a bag of ice on it last Sunday.

Anyone ski today? I found out Frogg Toggs are good for light rain, but not so good for a deluge. Made two runs once it started to come down good, I could feel wetness in the zipper area of the top, and my crotch on the bottoms. I am getting old, but do still have control of my bladder, so I knew that wasn't it. I had a fun day at Greek today everything still skied pretty good despite the rain. Even got into the trees a little today, visibility was terrible, I drove home on the two lane, I was concerned about getting caught up in a multiple car pile up. I was shocked how many people were driving with their headlights off when you couldn't see 100 yds down the road.:confused:

Here's what Greek looked like today.
