Ski Day 27: This day will be among the most memorable for me this season.

When I kissed my lovely wife goodbye at 4:30am, she said... "you skiing alone?"

Well, yes and no. I had no plans to actually drive with or meet anyone, but ... I am going to Plattekill on a day when everything was in play. Somebody had to be there right?

So, no secret I've got those gaudi skis. They open me up to a lot of shit, but they also, at times, open doors...

I was waiting for the lift to start spinning.

Patrol steps around the "lift closed" rope, looks at my boards and says... "wanna come?"

Damn straight I do.

Perfect cord, beautiful cold morning, with this light flakey stuff falling out of a cloudless sky.

I took my time looking around and then finally ripped my way down Face and got into line waiting for the lift to open for realz.

After a couple laps I ran into my main man Chris the Plattekill Warrior at the top of the double and a few of his buds.

It wasn't hard to convince me to head into Spiderman country...

There is so much skiing out there right now because it is so deep. We need to recruit more lopperheads in the fall so we can ski it all when there is less snow...

When we got back to the resort, my phone rang... it was James. He and Jason drove past Belle to come out too.

IMO mountain was groomed/ungroomed to perfection. Bumps on Plunge were just fantastic. Love the 50/50 split.

I was thinking about calling it a day, standing there staring at the double... bending down to undo my bindings when Cip calls me out...

Back up for more.
