volklyokel Posted January 13, 2007 Report Posted January 13, 2007 I was out yesterday morning on RT's slopes. The resort basically had 2/3 of the bunny slopes open with Minuteman and Lower Lafayette's Leap open too (intermediate). Considering there were only a couple of days to blow snow this past week, I was quite impressed with coverage and care. The whole staff seemed happy to be out and I saw lines of instructors getting some pointers on how to give lessons, so the whole team is definately gearing up. I only racked up 6350 feet of vertical (about 1.2% of Doug's season total!) in the morning, but it was great to be the first on the new Fife & Drum triple lift (three minutes early, too) and to make first tracks on the hill and to finally begin my own very delayed start to this year's season. I have a lot of skiing to get done in order to recoup the cost of my season pass and to get ready for an early March trip to Utah. I realize that today and tomorrow's rain will put a severe damper on the three day weekend, but the temps look good by Wednesday for some serious rounds of snowmaking. Next weekend ought to be pretty good across the state! Wax-up boys and girls. Give my kudos to the RT team, Joe. Quote
volklyokel Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Posted January 14, 2007 I will continue the tradition of photo-documenting my trips. Here are a couple of fairly boring shots from the first day out at Roundtop. Top of Minuteman Run Minuteman "Headwall" And a hippie college ID card for your entertainment, Doug. Fresno is right down the road from Yosemite. Click where it says "original" to see the photos in their largest sizes. Quote
