Timeless Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Just a quick 2 hours trip to the hill this morning, surface conditions were awesome, soft but fast and well groomed. The Stevenson quad was a little slow getting started which sucked a bit because I had chosen to start on that side, but a few runs off of the raceway triple and then I moved over to the main base area. Rocket, Bic Poc', Nile and Pharoah were all great, margies was a little lumpy so I only did that once. It was "raining" (more of a soft heavy drizzle) most of the time I was there so the crowds were zero, I didn't wait for a single lift. I left early as this is the first day since Blues opening day that I've ridden without my kids and my legs were burning after 2 hours of continous "fast" riding, (it's all relative), and the rain was making it difficult to keep any kind of clear vision. Funny thning happened on Pharoah just before I left, 3 guys on skis (late teens at a guess) were milling around at the top so I let them get a way ahead before I started my run, when I turned the first corner, all three of them were in the fence, poles and ski's all over the place . To all those of you that don't like the fences at CB, this is why they are there, these three would have ended up dropping maybe 50ft down onto Little Ceaser. A quick check to make sure no one was hurt and I went on my way. Weather aside, a great time. Very impressed at how the base is holding up under difficult conditions.

Timeless Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Good to hear that the conditions i saw on Christmas held true. How was the gaper quotient? well I was there.... Didn't seem too bad that early, lots of "crazy asians" on 12/26 and 12/24, not so many Thursday. I think the rain keep the gaper community in the lodge or at home, we'll see what it's like today (Friday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
