Closed on this place today, 3br 2 full bathroom, decent sized lot, 20mins to the beach 20 mins to the bay. Property tax less than $2200 a year.

In Charleston for the weekend and spotted this yacht. Heard it’s for sale for $40m. Heard yachts like this can rent for $250k a week + staff. but if you look closely, there’s a floating tiki hut with a motor and a bunch of bros on it. spotted this giant shipping boat - Wallenius Wilhelmsen. Learned that it has a bunch of BMWs on it. Turns out it’s like a giant parking garage that floats. then just normal sailboats soaking up the sunset light

Last night I got Mexican food from a place called Chamayo, consumed more gummies and slept grate. Alarm snooze alarm snooze this morning for me and I got the free breakfast from here at comfort suites. The kiwi strawberry juice was quite good. April 15th 2022 Abasin day 3 of 6. Today was back into the snow globe and the third of three days on the weekday three pack I purchased for Abasin. The drive up was the same as the previous two days, snow covered and took the same 22-23 minutes and I arrived around 835am. It was around 20 degrees and snowing hard as I booted up. No need to get a ticket or use the facility so I walked right up to the front of the Black mountain express line...clicked in and a few minutes later it was go time and I got my first civilian lift of the trip. It was snowing moderately and a little bit of a wetter snow than before and the parking lot was filling up fast unlike the previous two days. First run, two inches of fresh on top of cord on the lower mountain and followed it up with another, visibility decent enough to let em run. By the third lift ride there was a mini line and I rode the lift with somebody saying what a crummy day it was..I then went to Lenawee and low visibility up high was cool seeing people skiing and riding untracked pow from the lift. That was me a few minutes later..I skied a couple laps on known routes just milking the fresh then went back onto the lower mountain... Took a safety break then when all the way to the right still some green untracked and not much took the black mountain express again this time with people stoked to ski pow..they did talk about Vermont. I was able to ski back to my car, the early riser lot was beyond full and a solid inch of snow on the car and still snowing... The drive from Abasin to Keystone was sketchy icy snowpacked luckily only one person on my ass early that passed me. By keystone no snow on the roads and in Silverthorne this mornings snow was all melted and it was in the mid 30s. I stopped at Einstein bagels and got lunch to have in my suite..I also purchased a lift ticket to ski copper mountain tomorrow. I think it’s going to be very warm in comparison to the last few days at Abasin. Still snow shower activity in the forecast.

Too late for skiing but got to run some Mt Lemon AZ granite Moguls 😁 https://www.skithelemmon.com/new-page-1

Abasin is a party now.

April 16th 2022... Copper mountain Its finally warmer out. Today began with some nice sunshine with a temperaturen in the mid 30s in Silverthorne. I left the hotel house around 820am and I was in the free parking at Copper before 840am and riding the Super Bee lift by 9am. It was a festive atmosphere at Copper mountain with a lot of families. The groomers were mostly cord but not as hero snow as Abasin..groomed a little more solid and off trail had some areas of try fresh and some sort of manky from the strong morning sun. I made my way across from west to east to ptaragjn lift, American flyer and Timberline which had really nice hero snow with the sun shining. I only took the Sierra lift once and it was chilly up in the alpine and as I made my way back across the mountain from timberline to super bee there were some large clouds and by the time I was back in Silverthorne there was full cloud cover. I’m happy to at least have had some sun and no real liftlines at Copper...I stopped at a mini market for more bottled water, iced tea and some snacks and then got Wendy’s this has to be one of the most expensive Wendy’s. I dropped $17. I’m thinking Loveland tomorrow and maybe Abasin on my last ski day Monday.

Did anyone have salt blocks or a cheese melter out there? @enjoralas, wanna go to Colorado next April?

Hey All, I’m back from another fun ski day at Abasin. I arrived there at about 835am and it was 4 degrees with blowing snow and moderate winds. I picked up my pass and loaded the Black mountain express a few minutes before 9am. First run was just a mix of lower mountain Blues..groomed runs with about 1.5-2” of cold chalky pow wow. Second run was a repeat of the first as knew that lower mountain pow wouldn’t last and the good thing about those lower trails is the visibility is good as there are trees. Up black mountain express a third time and over to Lenawee, up Lenawee first half of the lift ride comfortable and second half my face froze...then took the rope row over to Montezuma bowl..I took a few pictures and with the temperature zero and real feel probably minus 10 taking off gloves to do anything was not a good plan. Top of Montezuma bowl had no visibility and areas of wind scoured ice with deep shabby snow along the snow fence. Was survival skiing but lower down was a more consistent few inches like on the front side. I then ducked into the woods for a safety break and skied to far before cutting back to the lift and did a little skinning with no skins. To be continued.

I reserved off site parking at Jet Stream. I heard that the parking garages at the airport have often been full. Coincidently economy parking is reopening with about 1/5 of the original lot next week and long term garage parking is going up from $16 per day on stays over 72 hours to $20 per day over 96 hours. For shits and giggles I called airport parking a few hours ago and they said they only had spots in level 7 of the E-F garage. Flight is at 8am and arrival in Denver is a little after 10am. I said 10am before but I believe that’s when my return flight is. Always good to check these things.
