JF 1/20

First run trip report. 28f, a little windy, cloudy. J4 5 race on Challenge today, soo glades are closed. Did a bunch of runs in them yesterday afternoon, and it was bumpy but soft in the trees.

 

Anyway, the top parking lot and lodge were pretty crowded with racers, but the slopes should stay quiet for a while. Slopes are a soft cord, with a little wind coming up the hill.

I should be there, but (hate to say it) I usually like to ski by myself unless the DW is with me. Its easier to pick a quiet slope, and I don't need peer pressure to do things I probably shouldn't. I try to be careful skiing with my wife, since she has had to drive me to the hospital more than once.

 

It got cloudy as soon as I got on top of the plateau, the sun started coming out around 10:30.

 

Did some speed runs down Floyds ( I find coming down Lightning lets you hit the top of Floyds faster) before it got too crowded, then switched to elevator - the top left is getting pretty icy (wasn't that pretty at all - a Warren Zevon morning), even with the edges I sharpened last night - then I decided to humiliate myself for the rest of the morning on the bump run under the chair lift. 18 runs in just under 3 hours, pretty much ski onto the chair (except for Exhibition lift, and I would shoot over to Challenge lift to avoid it).

C1er is elusive. You'll turn around and he'll be gone. He's like the Magic Man from Talladega Nights.."Now you see me....now you dont" When you do see him though he's usually rippin' it.

As long as he is using the PASR stickers I sent him it's all good!!! PARidge, you gonna be at JF Saturday???

 

Yup...I'll likely be there for opening bell at 8am. What time is everyone meeting and where? The top of exhibition is always a good place. I think that's where everyone met last year.
