Man one hell of a day today, bright bluebird skies, but pretty cold all day. The wind was the real killer. It didn't get above 0 at the base, but it wasn't actually that bad if you dressed right.
Got there early, about 7:45, and got on the first tram, and hit it hard all day. Snow was rock hard bullet proof. The kind of snow I would've loved to race on. Really made the slalom skis one hell of a ride. Skied untill the passes were up, and had one hell of a day.
We skied tram side most of the day, only took a few runs off the Bonnie and jet triple, because the lines were pretty long.
Place wasn't too crowded, and all and all, it was a great day for my first day on a real mountain all season.
I thought the early ridse on the freezer would be the colder yesterday, but the wind did nothing but pick up coming from that east side!
Seeing as I was on my new this year Dobermanns, I did not ski a lot of woods, I took a lot of hits on uller's dream, green mtn boys, racer, wedelmaster, the jet, Haynes, and some of the other steeper groomer types. I did my edges like razors the night before, and it really paid off, because the snow on the groomers was solid ice, and was an absolute pleasure to rip!
my friends and I decided to just use the empty singles lines and take separate chairs, so we could skip most of the big crowds on state side, which was considerably less windy than tram. But if you could suck it up, the line for the freezer was never more than 4 or 5 groups deep
