Never seemed to warm up enough for the snow to reach spring conditions. Lots of boiler and push piles made iit not uber-fun. Was fun skiing around with Blue crew, but would have enjoyed it far more if temps came up enough to soften everything up. Regardless, it's hard to beat $35 lift tickets.

Left the house around 12pm and after a stop for cayshe and gas, started the drive up. With no one but my thoughts and Sirius, the ride wasn't bad as traffic was light. Stopped at market in Rutland to pick up some groceries and continued the journey. As I approached Killington area, a light snow started falling which was pretty nice. Unfortunately it won't be anywhere near enough for tree skiing!! Had a couple of beers and now heading out to Yoshi Sushi for the pre-comp party to see what's shaking there. Tarponhead should be rolling in in a little while. Can't wait to see what conditions are like tomorrow. Sounds like there's a pretty good Blue contingency up here this weekend.

Small thermonuclear device would work well, oh wait, that wasn't until 1945... Nevermind! Far cry from 2014...

Probably with slide-rules and paper blueprints, no calculators or computers.

It is one remarkable piece of engineering. Really something to see if you get an opportunity.

I still have the hard-hat from the tour I went on where we walked through the dam itself. I believe they stopped doing that tour after 9/11.

The Hoover Dam was constructed yesterday, wow!

I thought it was Cuba?

We're vicariously living the Doug lyfe...

There's something soothing, relaxing about waxing on, waxing off.

Plumb Bob Squarepants

That's what I do, take a gummy stone to the edges to get rid of any rust. Put a heavy coat of wax on making sure to cover the edges (obviously don't scrape) and put them away.

I am now...

Couldn't sleep and fueled by multiple espressos.

3/25/16 Alta Received word that mbike-ski, MrsSnowBunSki and son were coming out to Alta today, so the plan was to ski with them and try to show them what little I know about the mountain. Got down to the Collins lift and saw mbike walking up. A light snow was falling and the clouds were pretty low which were obscuring all the peaks. MrsSnowBunSki was meeting a friend, so it was just the men for the morning. After a quick piss stop, we rode the Collins up. Pretty much everything was white on the ride up. You couldn't see Superior, Baldy or the High Traverse ridge. Decided to make a bee-line out to the Supreme lift area to check it out. We lapped the Supreme all morning, heading down a little tree chutes that had plent of wind blown drifts. Made our way out to Tarponhead labelled Elephant's Butt Crack rock and too the obligatory pictures. On one of the rides up Supreme, the clouds broke out over Catharine's, so we decided to make the trek up. After the short climb, we headed out to the boundary line to find some totally untouched snow out in Snowshoe Hill area. The run was well worth the hike. After breaking for lunch, mbike decided to ski with Mrs, so I was to try to keep up with the teens. Oi! Looked up again at High Traverse, but it was still socked in, so we rode up the Wildcat to check it out. The kids found lots of interesting features off the Wildcat and wanted to return. However the clouds finally lifted enough on High Traverse, so we decided to hit it and return to Wildcat later. Off the traverse, we turned back and went down Gunsight, across Greely and up over the hill and found big piles of freshly deposited snow in the North Rustler, High Nowhere and Eagle's Nest trees. We lapped this a few times and headed back to Wildcat. Back off Wildcat, the kids were hitting jumps galore and amped me up enough to do some cliff hucking. There were some wild kids throwing double backflips off a huge kicker which was crazy to watch. We lapped Wildcat until close and came down to see mbike coming out of the Goldminer's Daughter. We headed in for a beer to see Mrs & her friend and all agreed that it was one awesome day at Alta. At the Crack... Tree jumping... Goodbye Alta...
