don't ever believe the weather channel. if you snoozed you lost and you weren't alone because the place was empty. the turnout for the tri was embarassing.
saturday rocked. great way to close it out as it turned out for us. wasn't exactly your basic bright sunny spring day but the sun did pop out a few times during the mostly overcast day with nothing more than a few drops. bitter was open top-to-bottom with a few thin spots and upper skye lark was still well covered. warmed up with a skye/bitter and followed by a t-t-b bitter. upper skye had a nice bump line skiers left. supe hadn't been groomed in at least a few days and was absolute perfection with the bumps being in peak bloom. great lines edge-to-edge ranging from monsters to mid-size bumps to some 'dirty' lines with some sweeet corn (particularly that double fall-line skiers left section). trashed ourselves on the thing. left saturday feeling a sense of closure with the mountain, satisfied that even if we didn't ski sunday it was a great day to close it out. woke up sunday morn to some drippy skies in rutvegas and after waiting it out for awhile decided to leave on a high note and headed back south.
supe looks great and could probably last 'til memorial. they pushed the pile down onto the headwall so there was no walking. there may still be some hope as there was a petition circulating asking that they keep the mountain open 'til the snow runs out. doubt it but we'll see ... in any case supe's definitely worth the hike if you're into earning some.
