One, Bretton Woods on Saturday:

I made it to the lift just before 8 am and at 8:05 the operators opened the lift for first chair. On the ride up I inspected what mountain operations had accomplished on the one and only run open. The mile long Rangeview slope served by the Zephyr high speed quad had a deep layer of manmade and some natural snow on it. There was a groomed track top to bottom about 30 yards wide. To the skiers right of that track there was another track about 15 to 20 yards wide top to bottom that was not groomed. I knew right away that the ungroomed track would prove to be very good. As far as I’m concerned, the skiing got better and better as the day went on. The groomed track needed to be carved up by skis and it then became quite nice, firm and fast. The ungroomed track kept getting better and softer as the day went on. The bottom half of the run was under snow guns all day making it even softer. Around 10 am it started to snow a little; big, fluffy flakes and this left a winter time feeling for all. Around noon the sun came out and made things even better on the ungroomed track, it really was very good; especially for November. I would have skied all day had not my legs given out by 1pm. There were no lift lines and by noon most were done for the day. This left the slope wide open and I was able to turn my brand new Blizzard Brahmas (Bulls) loose to discover what is in store for me this winter. The gentle slope and conditions restrained the Bulls and only allowed them to show about 75 percent of what they are capable of. I could feel their energy and they were eager for a lot more. I will have to wait for bigger, wider and steeper terrain to open before I will discover their true capability. I know I will be very pleased with the beasts as I have now begun to find their sweet spot. My brand new Dalbello Panterra 120 ski boots with ID liners were fantastic, some mild tingling in the left foot that went away after a couple of hours and their walking mode is a nice option to have.

Managed to get out and 1st run by 8:30. Skied what was open and got the hell out as the crowd and crazies increased. Mid GN and Lower Bunny were just out of control at times.

Ran into Shortski in the Northridge lift line and took a run with him. I must have gotten my signals crossed as I headed down to the Snowdon Triple as he said he wanted to do, and apparently he went back to the NR Triple as I initially said I would do. I owe ya a beer SS. Lot was nearly full when I departed around 10:45.

NP Doc. Ya you had me confused. First you said Rime then proceeded to Reason. At the junction with Great Northern you said Double Dipper and Triple.... I headed back to the Glades Triple. Never saw you after that. Saw Jr. On the lift a couple of times, never hooked up. Skied everything open, day 14.

Snow Princess - She had surgery for a trigger finger so she will not be skiing for a few weeks.

Iceman - While skiing Saturday he complained about his boots so he got new boots on Sunday but did not ski.

A very wet and cool day 3. Skied with Shortski and managed not to get lost or separated. Quit when the cold moisture penetrated the gloves and jacket. Very good snow conditions everywhere.

Hit the hill early Sunday and found it very nice on the surface. Visibility sucked at times with full white out affect unless you were close to the trees. r*in today had me bag it. Caught up with shorski and Mrs. GIS at the peak with cocoa in hand (what no beer?). When I got to the mountain today for information regarding the Ski Bum sign up it began pouring. K1 was off the rails and stored at about 11:00 but Superstar and Snowdon quad were running.

Day...
