It was the best skiing I've seen in almost 3 years!! Cuz the skiing in Central America stinks. Cya up there next time!

Day 44 - Glad I didn't go skiing today. Instead, I joined Marc and Rob F snowboarding this morning. Amazingly smooth soft groomers perfect for hero carving on a snowboard. Scored tons of grippy turns on Rainbow, Humpty Dumpty, Jasey Jay, McIver, Benny's and best of all Crazy Raven.

Day 45 - Family Day with LeopardSkin and Marc. Great snowboarding conditions (soft grippy groomers) lasted an hour before it got tracked out by crowds. Most runs spent on Coyote 7. Quickly overheated so had to remove my layers. Nice to see Massimo, Anna and Bill skiing.

Spent 2 hours riding then 4 hours tailgate lunch with Marc, LeopardSkin, Bob and Benito. Fun times.

Day 46 - Lousy day skiing in flat light at Cypress. Lions (Rainbow and Humpty Dumpty) poorly groomed and hard pack. Shoreline was good but Benny's and Crazy Raven were hard pack. Jasey Jay and Maelle Ricker were soft but kinda bumpy by 10:30am. Fun riding with Rob W but called it quits early.
