noofus Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Decided to take a day off work since the season is nearly over... Rocked up to the summit lodge at 8:45 (34F) and got moving - snow was all frozen chunky granular on Burma, Lazy Mile, Main Street, Midway and Razors Edge. Paradise had some better grooming and was relativly nice. Got hungry around 11:30 and grabbed some of that awesome chili. Seemed like it was a mistake because as soon as I got back out there the snow had turned to complete mush on the whole mountain. Got quite gluey after a while and my skis didnt want to even move in a straight line on Home Stretch. I found some decent snow on Challange and Raceway but that was about it. By 2:30 things were unskiable with the skis I had on. Not sure if different equipment would have helped, but maybe...I headed out and my Jeep's thermometer was reading 50F...eek All in all it was a bunch of fun and was worth burning a vacation day.

noofus Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Forgot to add: Saw a Penn-Star med-evac land at the helipad around 1:00ish. Anyone that was there know what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noofus Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Actually, I'm pretty sure the reality show's last day was either last saturday or sunday I was there Sunday for the last filming. They did some shots of the cardboard classic - and then had all the ski patrol gather at the top of Switchback for a final group run for the cameras...

Watch for some kid getting loaded onto the helicopter on a cloudy day, and then they'll show the chopper taking off when it's real sunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
