Thursday 24 Jan

Day started with snow but temps in the low 30's.  Snow turned to slush and ice on the hiway so the morning rush hour was a mess, we watched on tv. I caught the bus to the top of the mountain where it had snowed for several hours and had accumulated about 4 inches, but it was a heavy wet snow, skied until 1400 and caught the bus home tired and wet.  Gloves were wet, jacket was wet, butt was wet and I was cold, suppose to get 7+ inches today and tonight so Friday/ Sat should be great. Lennis and I moving to a new condo tomorrow so no skiing until Sat.  Lennis and I plan on visiting Bear River tomorrow and checking out the cabins where we will be staying when the wifes get here on 8 Feb,  we will be staying there for a week and snowmobiling in the National Forest just South of Evanston, WY.

 

Even with fresh snow there were no crowds at the ski resort, the lack of lift lines and people on the slopes is a bit disconcerning, I have skied some long runs without seeing another person, been on the lift without being able to see anyone, it is remote-this 7000 acre resort.  The cheap lift tickets seems to draw lots of older folks, have met several from the Yorktown / Williamsburg area as well as locals, so no shortage of folks to ski with.

Hope you enjoy, more later
