Day 23: Best day yet this year for me
No, the snow wasn't the deepest, although we had 16 inches of 7% last night. No, the weather wasn't the sunniest, although we had a mix of sun and clouds. No, the company wasn't the best, as I had to put up with Dale's wisecracks and snow smears on the camera lens. :wink: What we did have were all of the above ingredients thrown together.
We spent all but the last run on Supreme, for there was no point in leaving there, the skiing was so good. Bases are now over 100" and it shows, you can pretty much go anywhere without fear of finding a submerged nasty. 72 inches in 7 days will do that to a place. The aforementioned last run was down Greeley Hill/Greeley Slot/North Rustler for the perfect end to a perfect day.
Tomorrow should be more of the same -- albeit with even more sunshine -- if they get either Backside or Devil's Castle open, as neither have been open in over a week.
Here's a lengthy video:
