WIth last years hectic work schedule, I carried over several vacation days, which will be put to good use on the slopes. With that goal, I made it up to the 'bird today. I was expecting crowds given the holiday weekend and the film festival (Sundance), but to my surprise there were few people skiing today. No lift lift lines, made the first tram - amazing. The snow was a little wind buffed on top, but there was quite a bit of powder off the beaten path, especially in the trees by a certain lift down on the mountain that gets no respect.
I bummed my son's old camera to snap a few photos, but it was not up to the task, so instead here's a study in the ravages of time - my picture from my 96 pass, and from my 08 pass.
As always, first day fun included trying to remember which chutes cliff out and which don't. Anyway, a good day on skis, minus the vertigo from partial whiteout conditions.
