Thought I saw you talking to your crew just before the quad opened.

MainStreet and Widowmaker great too. Crowds picked up about 1130. Didn’t have six pack running in the morning.

Thanks, think I’ll try a real mountain tomorrow.

I heard this is the last weekend they are scheduling lessons.

First day back, got there at about 11, half a dozen runs. Snow heavy, but not sloppy. 35 degrees and sunny. Same old, same old. Looks like they tried to widen River Shot from elevator glade to the bottom. Challenge glade pretty overgrown, no bumps on Exhibition. New snow looked pretty in the trees. The old back felt pretty good.

What should be done to school board members when a child dies due to Covid caught in an unmasked school environment?

Looks like I’m out for at least four weeks. Tried to do too tight of a turn going too fast on the big left-hander on sidewinder, skidded out and wound up just off the trail on my back. Cracked rib and several cracked transverse processes in my lower back, no real therapy needed just time to heal. Cat scan and back brace. Good season while it lasted, sucks to get old. See you next year.

Unless it’s roped off, or a closed for racing sign, I’d consider it open. I think they post RIP cause there are ramps with poles. I asked a patroller when the sign first went up and he said it was ok to run it. As long as you don’t drink a beer while on the slope. [emoji23]

Or Koch Bros and DeVoss support of school board elections to push privatization. I’m all for repealing Citizens United.

Out for a couple of hours late afternoon with the DW. Lapped challenge and thunderbolt. They were both in pristine shape. River shot was a little scraped off and Floyds was a lot narrower than it normally is. A nice sunny warm afternoon, but the snow wasn’t at all slushy. Overall pretty quiet.

Like the crowd when T* came down the escalator to announce his run for the presidency, they are paid actors, this time with trucks. 10 million dollars in go fund me from dark money.

Wondering what will happen a year from now when a trucker stops at a weigh stop or border crossing and the inspector sees in his database that truck was part of the antivax blockage.

Just remember, our true enemies are not the oligarchs, but rather the people who are poorer than we happen to be. They are the ones taking all our money, not billionaires whose employees are paid so little they have to have welfare to survive.

They started with the quad, but had some lengthy stops, so the sixer started about when you did. Main Street was good with some blown snow covering the top, and the bottom wasn’t too lumpy. They had bundles of poles on top of the jumps on Razors. TCS was covered with grippy blown snow.

Touched up the edges last night, so early morning was a Razors session. Agree Switch was the run of the day though. Really like the top 3/4 of Main St, but the bottom is sketchy. Quad still wasn’t loading when I left at 11:30, but the six pack line wasn’t too bad.

I’ve heard that Vail is going to replace most of the lifts at Frost and Boulder. I wonder if they will sell lifts from their other properties to Frost and Boulder and put new lifts in their first tier properties. They could play a lot of games with profitability, debt and tax strategies. They can’t play as many games with monthly expenses like labor and utilities, which is where they seem to be penny pinching.

Notice any difference carving turns down razors with the new edges on your tuned skis?

Waiting for the six pack to drop the rope. Just when it was about ready, red coats with a sled scooted in and we had to wait for them.

No bumps on TCS, bottom of Main Street a little bumpy instead. Some wild and crazy purplish guy kept trying to see how much air he could get at the bottom of Razors.

So it wasn’t just me, a little bit of a Nantucket sleigh ride there for a second.

Welcome back.

Similar to the BLM protesters, but with 80 ton trucks, and protesting a life saving vaccine instead of cops killing blacks.

They open the sixpack about 945, but if anything, the fog closed in a little until when I left at 12. No lines, but the slopes except Razors got pretty crowded.

Yes, usually the VIP line alternates with the plebes, so it moves much faster. Got on the short Burma Chair line to avoid the really long Main Street chair line. Didn’t notice that they started running the Burma chair at reduced speed. Boy, was that a long chair ride. 9 minutes.

Picking up the slack here. Thought I saw JL, BenM and Toast, probably others. Cloudy and cold to start with, but the sun came out around 10. Everything in very good shape with the quad running. Challenge was smooth, Razors was great without any marbles. Third run down, the lift line was beyond the gates, so next run headed over to Main St. Didn’t notice any major stoppages on the quad. Main St., Widowmaker and switchback were in excellent condition, but things started backing up on the double chair. After a couple of runs they started up the second double chair, which helped for a while, but then started backing up again, so I headed out. The six pack was just starting when I left at 10:45. Things look pretty crowded on both lifts now on the WebCam.
