I returned to Kirkwood after three days at home where I got my tires rotated (free and keeps mileage warranty), pulled weeds for a couple hours, took dogs for two walks and saw my son and his girlfriend every day and had dinner with them twice. I went to my appt. on Monday where dentist decided on further review he did not need to replace a filling which was OK with me as I had shopping to do on that side of City anyway. Friend I'm staying with at Kirkwood reported hail and rain and a beautiful sunset Monday when wind picked up in San Jose enough that I put on a jacket (was still wearing shorts) to walk dog in evening.
There were threatening clouds moving in and out all day at Kirkwood. I heard it rained hard in Reno and Palisades closed at 9:45 due to lightning and re-opened. This is the Carson Spur just W of Kirkwood about 9:30.
It's hard to photograph the whole wiggle on Monte Wolfe. It starts on ridgeline S of Cornice chair and ends at bottom of this photo. I saw a big rock in it about halfway down.
I skied from 10-345, riding Cornice 12x, Reut (close to where I parked) 3x and The Wall twice for 22,150 vertical. Friends joined me about 1030. Not a very hard freeze, but clouds and wind kept snow from getting too soft or sticky although the steeper and more N-facing, the better. This is Greg, who I’m staying with and who has been skiing every day since 4/18, on Olympic. At base of rock behind dead tree to right of him is a barely visible hole in rock that he likes to take photos of and then ski slope behind it.
Peter from Reno who was skiing his second day in a row and of the season after a shoulder injury. He quit about 230 and went home and may return if I can find a better deal than the $104 buddy tickets he was using.
I got them both to follow me down one of the steep chutes that is between Olympic and Janek. I also did another one in there. Next two photo taken riding The Wall at 310 and The Reut, our last chair ride, at 330.
There some clouds moving to N during full moonrise which was behind a tree from 2nd story balcony where we watched it.
We took a walk in the neighborhood where many houses are much less accessible than my friends as they require up to 300’ walk uphill over 6-8’ of snow. We will ski Kirkwood again today and Thursday which will make twenty days skiing here for me this Winter. Not sure where I'll ski Friday with predicted weather incoming, but will ski Palisades on Saturday, then return for Kirkwood's closing day on Sunday.
