I’m having trouble with power connector on laptop I usually post from so this is from iPhone and may be updated someday.
My Senior Tahoe Value Pass is blacked out all Saturdays at KIrkwood and Northstar so I drove an hour to Palisades and parked near to and loaded Red Dog at 905. (Don’t feel sorry for me as I had 31 days on that $415 pass, including 22 at Kirkwood.) I skied Lakeview that I thought was good at top and a little firm, but I could hold an edge on and after last two corners. Red Dog side and anything W-facing must have had a lot of melt in Fri PM sun after 3-4” new late Thurs/early Fri then froze hard overnight.
I went to top early skiing Saddle on KT, Headwall then Siberia where line grew fast so I took Big Blue to Shirley and rode Granite twice, first skiing Hidden Bowl, then next time up dropping off cornice into Crooks. I also skied one run in Solitude before starting down. I wanted to ride Headwall but it had an extended stop so I rode KT and skied some of Women’s Downhill on Olympic Lady side.
I went to SUV parked so close to Red Dog that I went past it, then swapped jacket for vest and grabbed sandwich and beer for gondola to Alpine.
I snow SnowGolf crowd waiting to tee off at top of Summit.
I rode and skied Alpine Bowl chair four times, once hiking into Keyhole and twice skiing Palisades before skiing Alpine Bowl to exit.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen ABC running and snow was getting to bottom of it got sticky - getting to base of Summit, etc. was much worse. I moved back to Olympic Valley, getting off Base to Base gondola at top of KT anf skied some of West Face into (closed at top?) Chute 75. I exited chute to left and got to Headwall and skied excellent North Bowl. I did one more Siberia and one more Headwall, skiing the Face, getting back to SUV going well above loud DJ and band event at base after 4 with 31K.
