Closing weekend

Wow, Great weekend.
There is always a powder day in April.

The past week has been great for skiing, too bad I spent most of it in the office.

The week into Saturday morning reports were:
18 inches at Winter Park
22 inches at Vail

with 1" reported Saturday, we checked the mountain cams, and headed over. Gus got all the pix, I'll have to post a few later.

The skiing was excellent, we headed back to blue sky, and caught some great runs on lovers leap!

Back for lunch at the Blue Moose, then back on the mountain, I remember why I don't ski out of Lion's head any more. We took Eagle Bahn, Avanti, and 4 to get to the top of the mountain.

We only had time for 1 run down Sun Up Bowl, before heading back to meet Karyn. Great day! I'd say the logged over 10 inches during the day and the skiing was great!

Sunday we headed to Copper to close the mt up for the season. They reported 10", several were fresh after close Saturday.

The snow was great, but I heard about the hike all day!

Scott joined us at lunch, and we got some great runs in after. Not the whole
After lunch we stopped in to check on some of the folks that didn't ski the afternoon, and about 3:45, the snow came in again.


How often do you see three Monos and a pair of teles in one place?
Tim came up to join us despite a little collarbone repair on Wednesday. Thanks for holding down the table!

I don't know what these jagarmeister ladies were doing in this weather:

Thanks for swinging out for a visit Gus. Glad to see you, Steff and Sarah. And Love the jacket!
