Today was my 11th day in a row on my trip and the second day in a row that wind affected lift operation, Panorama could only run their bottom level of lifts.

They ran the middle level a couple of times but never let anyone on it. The Mile 1 Express was not running very fast so line loading it moved slowly after turnstile even though as a single I did not have much of a line. Next photo was taken when I returned to it during lunch lull.

I moved to low-speed, but probably just as efficient with more vertical Sunbird for the morning. Snow was good but a lot of debris had blown out of trees onto runs. This is top of Sunbird.

More debris when going to Sunbird. That is Mile 1 at left.

I liked Heaven Can Wait enough that I repeated it. The entrance looked a little sketchy which kept the traffic down. But it was scraped off when I return later in day.

I think this was more Heaven Can Wait

More debris on run to far looker left from Mile 1 - either Loose Moose or Powder Trail

Sunbird had one long and a couple of short stops on this ride. It's possible that tree down on run was misreported as being on lift. Trees were really moving.

I quit at 2:30 with 22.3K vertical then had ~3 hr drive to join @Tony Crocker in Fernie. I'm sharing my highest ever Garmin sleep score that required alarm to wake me.

Note that most photos posted above are the unedited version and I'm too tired to try to replace. Maybe sometime...
