Hayride was a hoot today, actually every thing was. Tomorrow and Wednesday look prime spring riding!

Front Four are all prime right now. First time I’ve seen the top entrances open this year.

I've only seen Upper Liftline opened once or twice, that one is always closed too. Spruce Line doesn't open very often either. I did ski National Drop-In once, it was a sheet of ice the day I skied it.

Upper liftline was open more this season than ive ever seen it...
All the front 4 tops where open..wonder what the change is?
Maybe vail is loosening up a bit. Bring back the old Stowe.

Should have had an AZ convention today @ Stowe. Really nice day.

Went down (I hesitate to use the term “skied”) the top of Starr for the first time today. I must really suck because I had literally 5 patrollers following me as I slowly made my way down, repeatedly asking me if I am OK, etc … LOL … Hey it’s a tough trail and thanks to the good coverage of “hero snow” I was able to remain upright the whole time :). Next time I’ll try to link a few more turns…

Also went down Bypass for first time today. At the tricky steep section in the middle of the run, it looked like the (skiers) right fork would be the easiest but that turned out not to be the case

I was on Starr when the patrol posse came by. They were ripping. It skied nicely once in, bit rough at the top as usual. May have seen you? Didn't do Bypass, pretty rare good run on that, for my skills anyway. Great day overall.
