We went through our “new normal” routine today. I won’t bore you with the details. I’m going to stick to two things tonight. Conditions and a Patrol Story. Patrol first.
The North Side was open today for the first time this year, on all natural snow. CB and I hit Tahawas as soon as we got to the Saddle for the first time. I saw tracks under the rope to the Tahawahs Trees and inquired next time around at the Patrol station.
I have a good time almost every time I ski. If you are reading my reports to make your own decisions based on conditions – please read the words, and try to tune out the enthusiasm.
Do not mistake my enthusiasm for a positive review of conditions.
It’s easy to say, look at those pictures — looks like that guy had fun. Let’s go skiing!
But I can’t (I won’t!) curb my enthusiasm.
If you choose to use my reports to make ski decisions for yourself, please analyze carefully.
We did the exact same drill as yesterday. Left the cabin at same time, parked in the same spot. I ran into Matty in the parking lot. He’d read my TR from last night. He showed me his rocks skis. He looked ready to do battle.*
There was an attempt to put some fan guns in positions at the base in the morning which I thought was a nice touch. But the questions about snowmaking remain.
After getting our daughters lesson going, I hung out to watch and CB rode the triple to get some lower mountain runs. I figured I had time for one Gondi ride, if I came back down Foxlair to Sunway. Both were in pretty decent shape at this early hour.
