Trip Report:
Pulled in around 1:15... had to drive all the way around to tram base after I had already booted up because they deserted the window and shop, then had to trudge through construction to get to customer service on the Tram Side because there were no signs or anything. WTF were they selling tix for over there when it wasn't even open while no one was selling tix by Stateside where it WAS open? Very stupid.
Anyways, down to Jet, Haines, and Montrealer for open lift serviced stuff, but saw plenty of people hiking towards tramside. Shuttle was running to get people back that went over there. I stayed on the beaten path, alternating between Jet and Haines. Jet had good bumps under the lift up top with pretty good coverage everywhere. Some places were scraped down to ice for long stretches. Haines had smaller, more forgiving bump lines and a better surface, but also had a few interesting areas. But overall, great stuff on May 7th. I don't think they're planning on it, but they could make it another week considering the forecast this week looks dry. Finished up on Montrealer which was great... nice deep corn the whole way. Snow ran out just before getting back to Bonnie.
Anyways, last day for me. Awesome season, and today was my latest day ever. Very satisfied with the season being over, I feel like I used it up to the last drop and not looking back with regrets or wondering "what if" about a few days like last year. Ready to enjoy summer, and when October rolls around I'll be ready. :beer:
