Yup.
For anyone that knows Vail, as a group we skied Riva which is a long black groomer on that day. Got to the bottom and one of them was waiting. “I didn’t even see you pass me.” “I didn’t. I went down Prima.” (Double black bump run). Still beat me down.
Another fun day at Vail. Wind wasn’t as advertised but the snow was.
Snowed from about noon on. Heavy at times. Really softened up and filled in spots that were kinda skied off. Free refills!
Pretty much stuck to frontside groomers given the conditions and they were really fun. Gandy Dancer 4x, Blue Ox 2x, Rogers Run 3x.
Even got a chance to ski some runs with @gyroprotagonist!
Tomorrow is gonna be good. Too bad I gotta go home and it’s probably the season for me (unless I can convince her to come up for closing weekend).
We had a good day. We go out of Cascade (parking is cheaper and shorter walk the Lionshead. We stay in Avon with SIL.)
Lap at 26. Over and up 2 via Lodgepole. Ouzo into Game Creek. Deuces Wild 2x. The Woods 2x. Honky Dory to Mid Vail for quick sandwich. Up 4 to Northwoods then to 10. Roger’s Run 3x. Back up 11 (which is where I saw your twin that didn’t understand muledick). Ramshorn and Spruce Face back to 2. Pickaroon 2x. Traverse over to Simba and back down to Cascade,
Back up at Vail. +9” of much needed snow last night. Had the insta-crowd going. I’m a good skier and I’m probably #14 in this group of ex-Vail patrol, CU racers, and locals that can log 75 days a season.
@Chewbacca Found him. Frontside under Chair 2 2/3rds way up according to Reddit.

Did you find the dead guy back there?
Did not. Patrol is obviously out there looking/probing/dogs. I don’t thinks he’s in the back. Probably in some tree well in the front is my guess.
