Last Sunday was day 15, a day or two after a sizable April snowstorm, and the snow was a bit weird - even the groomed stuff was lumpy and cantankerous, the off-piste was sticky and wet. Beautiful day, very warm, classic spring skiing conditions, but something of a workout.
And crowded - first time in 20 seasons I was relegated to the furthest lot, Lot 4 in the Valley - waited 45 minutes for a shuttle. Only managed 17 runs all day (9/8), but a nice day nonetheless.
Yesterday was a bit weird also - the temperature hovered right around 32F, so the spring slop varied between soft and pliant to hard and crunchy, sometimes in the space of a few minutes. Never really learned how to ski that stuff, but still managed 22 (14/8) runs, stayed right side up, and said goodbye for the year. The San Juan trip approaches and we have trip planning and some house stuff.
Stopped at The Spot on the right side of Turtle Creek, had a word or two with Karin. Kind of a ritual.
