Day 2 - Monday December 9, 2013

2nd trip of the 2013/2014 season today.   Arrived at 10:00 am ... fresh snow ,  -3C and a huge westerly wind at the top and nothing at the bottom.    The Village Way was open for the first time this season.  Did that run first but didn't find my groove.   Next up was Smart Alec ...found a good line and was doing bit fast wide turns.   The snow was getting clumped up and it was ice underneath with nuggets here and there that made for a ton of chatter.   There were still good lines to Ski...just had to find them.     The Silver Bullet lift was not moving as fast as usual ,  high winds were hampering the operation.  It was fun seeing peoples reaction cresting the hill and getting blasted.    Wore my new Columbia jacket...very pleased!      Last 30 minutes or so were sent on the Village way.   Took the trail across the top of the Mountain heading to the Century Express and started at the very top of the Village Way trail , stayed to the left in fresh snow making lots of new track cutting hard across the top of Graduate then back to the Village!     Heading back to the car it was blowing so hard if I had of set my poles down in the Parking lot they would have blown away!
