Day 11: OK, now I'll admit it: I'm officially bored.

We've been stuck with the status quo for a week and a half now, and I'm tired of skiing the same handful of runs. There are only so many ways you can mix it up, and damn Facebook for showing me "Memories" of seasons past with deep snow on the same date. ](*,)


Demo Day


Sugarloaf

After lunch Bobby Danger split for Snowbird while Skidog, Telejon and I all called it a day. Tomorrow it'll be more of the same, after all.

I'll hit Solitude on Monday for another change of scenery, and then hopefully after an abbreviated work week I'll have fresh snow by the time Friday rolls around. Wasatch Snow Forecast is pretty jazzed about the changes coming later in the week.

i ventured down canyon for the first time this season and found eXTREMELY hard conditions over the entire scope of what was open . wouldn't recommend anything but really sharp slalom skis to motor about on . certainly nothing over 100mm under foot unless it's brand new and really sharp !!!! snowbird needs a big storm cycle to get some more terrain open to break up some of the crowds in place on three trails . just friggin amazing there had to have been one thousand people from the bottom of little cloud chair to the mid gad restuarant on bassackwards . i've never experienced the bird that way.

There are other areas to ski, ya know! Early season, when everyone has limited terrain, is often the time to travel about. I see you've done that with PCMR and Solitude, but really, you don't have to wait for the occasional freebie!

In good and bad ways. BC is also a non-trivial trip for us - in that 12-18 hr driving range.

I'm doing 5 hour bus runs for..Killington's 27 runs....See ya'all next week.

Ouch. What's that 27 runs, about 9 ways down? (I use a 3:1 conversion factor for most NE areas)
