 Fresh snow and sun brought allot of folks to the hill today.  It was busy so I didn't get a whole lotta runs in.

Blue - Day 2

 Day 2 is in the books,  another warm one with soft snow and limited terrain.  I focused on skiing on my edges aka carving letting my skies do the work.  It was fun and fast.

Blue - Day 1 2024-2025 Ski Season

 













It was -3 , ice fog at 09:00 am. First hour was fantastic. Past 10:00 the freezing rain started. They stop loading Silver Bullet at 10:30. Stood in line for 20 minutes while the knocked the ice off the chairs. They stopped the lift at 10:50 telling everyone to go for hot chocolate. I was parked at the top in Spruce Meadows so I saw a fitness opportunity boot packing up Smart Alec ....around 20 minutes. It was an awesome start just a wee bit shorter then I expected.

Spring Skiing at Blue

 Joined Todd and Daryl today logging some spring skiing runs in today.   Cold start made for some really good snow but that quickly changed when the sun hit the slopes and the temps rose to the double digits.

 Logged another 4 days on the big mountain at the start of  March.  First two days were Bluebird followed by two POW days that were Epic.
