Snow Summit 2/9/12

Went with two old friends. Chair 1 not running today, but I was pleased
to note that I wasn't wiped out by the climb to Chair 2. Friends are
improving. Elaine loves her 36" yard-sale skis and only fell once. She
(62) and Henri (86, skier since childhood) both have more stamina than I
do, and that sucks badly.

Stopped for lunch around 11:30. Henri brought chicken/feta/Cholula/pita
sandwiches.By the time we got going again the slush had arrived. One
run over to Log Chute and home. Managed to avoid the sudden puddle at
the very bottom, which caught me last time.

We will NOT stop to eat again. Nibble trail mix on the lift, and DO NOT
waste the pre-slush snow. It was really nice between 10:00 and 11:00

Friend (whose middle name is Chutzpah) moved his car near the ticket
windows to load up our stuff, and one of the parking guys tried to chase
us out because we weren't stockholders. We pointed to the absent
friend's handicapped tag (a quad bypass earns you a permanent
handicapped tag) and he went away, but not happy.

Wonder how much a buy-in costs...

Today's high was either 52 or 64 depending on which weatherguesser you
look at. Next week it's supposed to be really cold (highs in the 30s),
which would be a welcome change.

Still, half a day on the slopes is MUCH better than a day at work.

I'm skiing Dear Valet today. I'm the only person who posts here who
will be skiing DV. For damn sure, Saddam Bob Thompson will not be on
the beach at noon.
My soul sings with gloating. You would not understand. Like with
balls, you don't have a soul, and don't know the difference.

Good choice. SS has its own weather station at the base, and it's 47F
at 8:30 this morning.

Bensweather says it's 54F at 9:30. SS weather says 55.3. Good cross-check.

Buckle Up. It makes it harder for the aliens
to suck you out of your car.

It's a little depressing to realize that it is mid-February and we are
already on Spring setup at SS.

Bear Mt is now opening Chair 4 (Silver) in the morning and Chair 8
(Geronimo) in the afternoon. Maybe they will have longer hour on the
weekend.
