Days Off

I got some skiing in during my time off. My seventh day up on the pass puts me at the breakeven point in early December. Additionally, I actually used the free Winter Park ticket from the Warren Miller Show. Here's how my week went.

Sunday


I went to Breckenridge with my sister. We did not see a single cloud all day long. We skied groomers, and she got her new board, boots, and bindings tuned-in. The girl rides real fast now.

Monday


Dan, my sister, and I headed to Keystone. We saw one cloud in the morning, then nary a whisp.

Wednesday


...fell during the middle of the week and so did the snow. The morning report said nine inches of freshies at Vail, so we went. We agreed that it was more like six fresh, but heck, look at the picture: he's standing! We skied our way back to Blue Sky Basin and found heaven in those ideally spaced trees.

Friday

...was the last day to use the coupon from the Warren Miller Show at Winter Park for a free ticket. I hadn't been to WP in ages. I went with Jonny 6-Pack and some of his work mates. The day was hot and cold.

HOT!

On the hot side was the women's downhill race that was going on. I first became aware of this when I was fidgeting with putting my ticket on my coat and looked up to see myself surrounded by the New Zealand women's ski team as evidenced by their exquisitely fitting uniforms. Outside I discovered these girls were everywhere. Skier girls have some amazing bodies! This was an unexpected treat.

COLD!

On the cold side was the weather. We never saw the sun, it was cold, and it was occassionally very windy. There was a little bit of fresh snow, and at the end of the day we found a couple of pretty good runs. It was the worst of the days, but it wasn't a bad day by any means.
