Solitude - 3/28/26

[indiggio]

We’re back from another fun day at Solitude.  Got the wife an IKON to force her to ski, so we rolled up to Solitude to pick up her pass and get her first under the gun.  They were even giving out free waffles!

Arrived at the lot at 9:15 with temps in the upper 40’s.  Hit the ticket office to get her pass printed and booted up.  The snow was super soft already and many out in shorts and short sleeves.

Had the wife lap the Link to get her ski legs back.  The snow was buttery cream cheese hero snow.  What few clouds there were upon arrival were now gone and temps climbed into the 50’s.

Did a few laps on the Moonbeam and her legs were shot, not having skied much this year and the heavy snow didn’t help.

Out in the parking lot the temps rose into the 60’s under bright sun.  Lots of tailgating and jocularly going on in the parking lot, there was even a graduation party going on.  By the time we got back to the house, it was already 80’ out.

Just another day in paradise…

Nice report and I guess the wifey didn’t want to take the bus.  Cool that she’s getting into skiing.

Solitude's attempting to get more people to come up, so they did away with parking reservations for the rest of the year.
Nice having the car to shed clothes, lunch, apres, etc.

She wasn't really mentally prepared to get out yet, but since I got her an IKON and it was gonna be a nice, warm day, decided to go out.
