rollitup 2016 Ski and Board club!

[Cookie Rider]

Rode Blackcomb on Sunday.
Did just over 29,000 vertical in descends.
21 chair rides up.
We stuck to mid mountain as the upper alpine hasn't opened yet.
lower mountain was brutal, brickset ice and scrapey scrapey twigs/rocks, sprinkled with beginners and the tourist crowds.
We rode untracked cord at 1:30 in the afternoon, on a weekend. Unheard of.

The initial upload first thing is the only line. After that everyone gets spread out over the resort and the place is deserted.

That's almost as tight as east coast trees!

So my daughter just yelled at me for taking so long to get the snow tires mounted. She wants to go to Ski Cooper again. Not sure they are open: they are due south from Copper Mtn in Colorado.

One of the sketchiest parts of Whistler/Blackcomb(including anything you can get to from Spankys Ladder or the Peak) is the walk through lot seven three days after a storm on a sunny thaw/freeze day.

It’s only man made, but the grooming & weather couldn’t be better, bluebird & 30*
Yesterday was a nice distraction from my daily anxiety.
I’m going back for more today

Last week’s hero snow is gone, “machine groomed granular “ , to dust in crust to wet & sloppy by afternoon, still 100 times better than sitting home.

I was thinking about going this weekend but now we're supposed to get significant rain. That'll really freeze up the woods and make a good base though.
