Solo trip up to Gore again on Wednesday.
Day ten for the season!
Rain, heavy fog, sunshine ... it all happened yesterday.
When I met up with Aaron and Dave (both ski instructors at Gore, Aaron being a friend's nephew)) and I took a few runs together.
It was so foggy on our first run down that I could barely see him in front of me, or much else for that matter.
I've basically skied one out of four days since I got this going again in mid-February.
Pretty sure that's gonna be it for the year, though...
although it's kind of like the number of times I say I'm just gonna do one more run....
Proper fuel on arrival...

I like to take the Gondola on the first run since I already have my skis off...

I did two black diamond runs ... Uncas and Open Pit. Neither was too difficult, but many of the harder runs are way far beyond my ability, and likely always will be.

It did clear up, although often it was only in one direction, or higher up on the mountain...

I'm a gear guy, and this Patagonia shell has been fantastic, even in steady rain...
