Basin the old fashion way!

Skiing at the Basin.


The storm rolled in while we were driving over, they didn't claim any snow yesterday morning, but you could tell the conditions had improved with the fresh snow. We showed up at noon after driving from Vail.



High winds had taken out the power. This was old school. The lifts were open running on Diesel, and they had 3 options for lunch.
Brats
Hot Dogs
Cold Sandwiches

The lady at the cash register was using one of those old school credit card slides. Chunk chunk...

I said, "it's a good thing we still have this old equipment around for times like this..."

She said "I've never seen one of these before today."

The bar was still open... CO2 still works when the power is out!!!
Karen and Tony joined us. Alex too, but the pic didn't.
