My son and his friend chose unwisely. As they say, you wanna know you gotta go!
Run of the day has to be Face. Whales to play on Upper and nice, soft man made to rip Lower. Worth many laps.
Now for the surprise of the day.
The woods are in play! Didn’t ski quite as nice as it looked, but that skied pretty nice. Woods are skiing better than the scrap-y trails, if you can deal with a little crust. Couple inches of fresh, with deeper windblown spots, with a crust underneath that holds up and let’s you get an edge. Not dust on crust. A friend posted some FB vid of the glades at Belle yesterday and it looked good, so I was hopeful.
Cold, low 20s, but the sun is strong and it doesn’t feel it!
Where’s the Old Milwaukee?
Broski....I’m grabbing some lunch. I keep looking, let’s hook up for a couple runs.

One more shout out to Platty, as this is noteworthy. While the Cloudspin (used to have a killer Bloody) fades....Platty makes a mean Bloody. I’ve talked to the bartender who makes the homemade mix, good stuff. While Cloudspin was absent dilly beans over Prez Day, Platty don’t skimp (and she sources hers from the Amish country, details people), and it’s still a 16oz cup, unlike Cloudpin. The Wicked Pickle Mary...with spicy pickle bourbon...good stuff. No, I’d never drink pickle bourbon otherwise, but in this instance...
Looks like your typical Bloody, but it’s a step above. The pickled onion and jalapeño is a nice touch.
Oh, and she sold me on a Mezcal Mary for apres. Mezcal is a rabbit hole I’ve been trying to avoid....
