Every year @Stu and I say we are going to ski together, but we haven't done so since January of 2020.
Monday he texted me "It's snowing up there, who's open? I want to ski on Thursday."
I looked around the neighborhood, Gore, Oak, McCauley, Snow Ridge, Woods Valley, Royal. Only Gore was open, or so I thought. Then @Robert alerted me, Big Mac was opening. I was in. If Stu was going to drive up from Brooklyn, I'd be there.
I did my usual, shooting for an hour before first chair, which was at 9. Stuart was targeting 10.
Man it's cold.
I got my lift ticket ($35!) and headed down to the lift. Just after 9am the call came to send up the public.
That was me. I got three laps in before anyone joined me.
Helmers
Mac had had most of a foot overnight, and there was a lot of tempting terrain around.
God's Land
At 10 Stuart rode up the triple, I waited for him at the top of SkyRide.
Patrol worked hard to pad the towers and rope off Helmers to open SkyRide for the first time this season.
Joe Dunn's SkyRide
Patrol wasn't quite ready and we took another run.
Challenger
SkyRide opens!

Love me some Big Mac.
