Ski Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 I picked Ty up at school, just as the snow started falling. By the time we got to the almost empty lot, it was coming down pretty hard. We spent most of the afternoon doing laps on Lower Runaway, then a few Highballs (she's working on her hockey stops). We raced down Easy Street once, which is the goofiest possible slope---maybe if it was banked and steeper...IDK. Conditions are absolutely mid-winter and the falling snow made it seem really quiet. A lot of the runs still had corduroy grooves all over them, even by 6pm. (The lifties, btw, caught all the chairs and were great.) We had a blast and can't imagine the season ending. Quote

Ski Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Posted March 19, 2007 ski, i was looking at your stats...what happened to hideout ski hill? ...i remember you saying something about a groomer problem... We didn't open until mid-February because the hydraulics went on the groomer just before opening. And the longtime ski school director retired, so there was nobody that cared to continue the weekend races. We didn't even have the traditional Hideout Ski Hill Championship Race, which we'd attended for years. So there was no reason to go... But as soon as Sno's lifts stop, Ty and I hike for turns at The Hideout. There's so much snow that it should hold up close to May, as long as it doesn't get crazy hot. Quote
