Day 4. Last ski day for me. Great day. Just a little bit of snow fell overnight, and it was just enough to make the morning groomers silky smooth, and put down a nice refresh layer in the trees. Ran a bunch of groomers off Thunder and Sublet. I missed yesterdays run down Saratoga bowl, so we headed over in a round about way to Teton quad where Dooglas left for his snacks. NMSKI and Atomic made a detour down Washakie Glade, I choose to stick to the groomer knowing my legs were gonna go away fast, and i really wanted to check out Saratoga Bowl. Up Apres Vous to Saratoga Bowl. Fun stuff in Saratoga, trees, bumps, what have you. Good stuff. This didnt seem like a heavily traveled area, and its probably because the traverse back out is spicey. Back out at the lift, Dooglas caught up to us. Back up Apres-Vous. With the forecast for the next few days looking snowy, Doug and Jeff, called it, and went to the Unkept Moose to grab us a table. Legs were feeling OK, and Tom is always up to make that one last run. At the top, we planned on just dabbling in and out of the trees, making out way to the bottom. We heading back into the Washakie Glades, which were fun, but popular. We were taking our time, and about halfway down, we decided to try to stay in the trees all the way to the bottom. We made it about as far down as possible, ending in a very untraveled area that had lots of perder in it, which made me think we would end up in a creek at anytime. No creeks and we made it out unscathed. Some pics from today. I think the camera on my phone is lacking in the clarity department, but here we go.

This is what first gondi gets you. More later. Great day.

Closed for kings and queens.

Beet.

Glad the weather cooperated for you guys. Looks like you had a good day. Good to hear you are ok PC. Sounds like Rummy should make the trip to Blue for end of season party. Im sure there is a buddy pass available.

Beet me too it.

Welcome to PASR!!!!

Ok.

Jeff had already helped me out by downing at least 2 slices after his sandwich and fries....dude can eat. Guy admitted he had his eye on it for like 10 mins, told his buddy he was gonna end up eating that slice. He was pretty slick. Lol.

Mangy mooses.

Who gets to work Doms radio?

And for the love of God, Demo some real skis.

Its pretty good, thanks. i had it drained and shot up 2 weeks ago, but thats really kind of a band aid, as thats the second time for that in a pretty short period of time. I aggravated it a little today, but all and all, still good.

Down in the lobby downing coffee right from the pot. 4 am arrival.

No. if you guys wanna start a thread for xrays, and disgusting things that have come out of your body, have at it. i can choose not to look at it.

Fuck no. I got all weird when they told me they were going to test me for Gout and Lyme's with my knee thing. I would make your radio repeat Barbara Mandrell.

I would fuck your radio up so bad it would be stuck on the Bee Gees forever.

Damn dude, thats horrible. Heal up quick. I dont want to see any xrays.

Today may have been the first time i skied Widowmaker. Snow was really nice on that trail. Switch was awesome today. Imagine if every trail had conditions like Switchback? Imagine if the quad was running first thing? Or maybe even by 9am? Never seen a lift station move quite like what ever it was that happened to the main street chair. Of course we all got on it though.

Planning on freezing my ass off first thing tomorrow and Sunday at Blue.

Dom made it very clear the passenger would be allowed to work the radio. You and i both know how much fun that would be.

Stopped for a couple runs on my way up to the poconos. Got there about noon, not too busy, but it was the biggest circus act i had seen in a while. Razors, Switch, and main were real nice. Couple icy patches on Sidewinder, which reminded me a little of Brighton. Cold. I need a heated helmet.

Its a little further down. Its the area just left of where River Shot is written on that map.
