Trip report - Snow Summit - 12/2/10
I left about 5AM, arrived at SS parking lot at 7:15, and parked in
just about the perfect spot - front row right by the ticket office. The roads were clear despite patchy snow and ice along the side from about 5000 feet elevtion on up. The surface was just about perfect machine-groomed, turning softer in the sun, then crunchy as the afternoon shodows moved over the trails. SS had all the lifts and trails I care about open except Wall, Olympic, and Chair 6, but I can accept that on my first day. I skied all over the mountain and rode every lift except the beginner area. It was all good. No clouds, no wind, no liftlines. I only rode up twice when I wasn't alone on my chair. I think I broke 20,000 vertical even though I had to leave about 2PM to make it to a 6PM soccer game in Coronado. Negatives: the mountaintop restaurants were not open, and a beer at the outdoor barbecue stand cost $6.50. I was apprehensive about my new/old boots from Truckee and my old skinny skis, since I only got to use them once last year, the rest of the season being on newish rentals. These boots hurt my feet the same way as my last pair - first run cramps and a few hot spots. The first couple of runs I felt awkward like Itchy in his videos, but by the third run I was comfortable, so I made a non-stop run down Westridge, knees together the whole way, some short-swing, some big s-curves the width of the trial - except for the bailouts away from the snowboard table I didn't see in the shadow and the two whoop-de-doo rollers near the bottom that I didn't see coming because I was admiring the form of my shadow. Season pass: yes, I got one. More on that later. |

Alright! Good report. Pretty early season for So. Calif. isn't it? You're going to put some miles on you vehicle this year I think. I've moved the Jan. golf trip from LV to Phoenix/Scottsdale. I played that course last year so I decided to change it up this year. How far from SS to Coronado. Memory seems that it's a long way. I've been exchanging some emails lately with Coronado HS ulumni commitee on another matter. Pretty funny. But that's another story. |

I only hit bad traffic in a couple of places, just where I expected to - on 215 in Riverside just after the 91/60/215 interchange, and in San Diego where 163 joins 5 south. It is about 130 miles from my driveway to SS parking lot, and I usually budget 2-1/2 hours going up, unpredictable coming back. |

I've been exchanging some emails lately with Coronado HS ulumni commitee on another matter. Pretty funny. But that's another story. I don't get to see much of Coronado High School except the stadium where the games are held. It is probably the nicest stadium for spectators in the county. As for the school buildings, from the outside, it is as pretty as La Jolla Country Day or Bishop's School. It doesn't really have any open grounds, but it is right across the street from a city park and library. Of course, the city has a lot of restrictions, some by zoning and building coddes, and some just due to the high price of homes there, that keep out the lower classes except for military brats that come out of base housing and those who live with their mothers in servant's quarters. |
