I'm loading up the car now...

Look for the big guy... 6'4", I'll be on my Watea 84s, Blue North Face jacket, black Giro helmet.

I still answer to Wayne.

Deadhead, I'll be looking for you.

I'm pretty bummed I didn't make it up today. Their snow report says the Barker Lift is running too.

Had a fun day up there today.

Got there around 9... Line for Locke was the longest I've EVER seen it (all the way past the bottom of Rocking Chair)... Decided to take my time getting out there in the hopes the line would die down a bit.

As I was in the lodge booting up, I noticed a line forming at the Barker quad... When I went out, I went right over there. Did a few laps on Right Stuff, and it was awesome.

Nice to see you again and geting some turns in!

The reason that Locke was backed up is that they were loading every other chair. It made sense during the first run or two when the line was evenly split between the bottom and the mid-station. But by 8:30a or so, they really should have gone to T2B only and stopped loading the mid-station. Lower Punch was in fine shape excepting for getting blast by the guns. There was no reason to have the mid-station open, IMO. Maybe they did it for the park rats.

The Barker Quad was pretty much ski on all day once they opened it which was great. Right Stuff kicked it in all the right ways!
