Ski Day 23: The days have been hard to come by for me this season, 23 days by April is pretty lame. But it was a good one.

@x10003q and I arrived early but the corn was already softening. For much of the morning Block had the best snow. It had been groomed (possibly Friday night) so it was pretty flat, with a single line of bumps down skiers left.

I got a bunch of pictures of Sean Riley, and in EVERY ONE (where you can see his face) he has a monster grin.

Patrol seemed to outnumber the customers at least for the first few hours. This guy, and I can't remember his name, had locks flying in the breeze...

This guy was seriously old school, on super long straight skis, rockin the bumps and skiing Platty since 1980...

Way cool to see Laszlo ski the whole day. Both Laz and Danielle skied a bunch together and they had big grins. 2013-14 was a really solid year erasing some of the pain of 2011-12.

We skied until 5(?) or so and at one point I looked down off the double and saw Laz ripping GS by himself. The guy loves to ski.

End of the season...?

We hung out on the deck having a few beerz and just lovin this place that brings it all together. Platty has a huge snowmobile race this Saturday and we were pushing Laz to spin em for the diehards on Sunday. Sounded like he might do it.
