Open skier cross race tomorrow too

How late is afternoon?

Big Indy guy? wow TFTI

FIFY

Yes. Can't wait for the pow

Oh no, that's bad for circulation. You should probably go sockless for max circulation.

At least you get to use your fancy new balaclava again.

@ JAC waiting for departure. Snow King’s website says open at 9 but I had feeling lifts don’t start spinning at that time. Could see the lifts not moving at 9:01 so I switched to the touring set up and got a $8 Uber. -15° with real feel of -28° but didn’t feel like it, especially when moving. Only had an hour and made it about half way up the hill without seeing anyone. Great way to start the trip home.

Today didn’t suck

Awesome day even with low vis. Couple pics including the 49er breakfast

Both flights were delayed about a half hour but both my bags and I made it on time. I planned on taking Uber to the hotel but from when I landed until I got my bag, it went from $35 to $85 for the trip to town. One of the no wait taxis outside did it for $40. Room was ready early so quick change and headed to redeem my Indy pass. Full view of Snow King from the hotel room so had to do it. Little bit of a struggle for the ticket agent but we were on the snow by 1245. Lines were non existent and I had the Gondy and quad to myself. I didn’t even know they had a backside but the Sun Bowl had the best snow and ended up there for half of almost two hours I got to check it out. Milder terrain on the back side and slower lift but some trees and ungroomed to play with. Got scooped by Atomic after SK and he even had a beverage waiting.

Didn’t have high hopes for conditions but the kid had a lesson so away we went. She was v excited to show anyone who listened that she had first set of poles. First two runs down Lazy and Main for 9/10. Super surprised but also delighted. Went for a TCS run and back to reality as the head wall was almost completely scraped off. NMDW wasn’t that bad but had some bigger sugar piles. Another MS before 2 post lesson laps with the kid. Less than a minute wait at both the quad and new 6. It’s surprising the lack of ski clubs mid week. Haven’t really caught a crowd yet this new year. Time to finish packing and meet the boys in JH tomorrow.

I guess when you’re having a peak season you have to capitalize. Thanks dynamic pricing https://snowbrains.com/arizona-snowbowl-1st-resort-to-charge-300-for-a-lift-ticket/?fbclid=IwAR1uABpi2rIUXGW0_oB3q5HWkU9XR-1KLqQj0O8gnLEHrX0bp5WPckKzITo&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

You would be the coolest college professor.
