We thought the wind at the top might not be too bad. Well, it was much less bad than yesterday, but still brutal.
This is the top of Dave's. Notice the wind tunnel flow visualization aid.

Dropouts were very nice at the end of the day. Wind finally died down, some of the weird wind scallops were skied out, and blown in snow covered everything. I skied them twice between 3:11 and chair 23 closing at 3:30.

Shot ski in the restaurant / bar we ate in this evening. (Mammoth Tavern).
Someone at the bar sent it to a table of his friends.

Pride Woolley going to a Rise Against music video


Funny enough... the Woolley suit makes it difficult to get into the parking shuttle door. It's just a tad too big.

And... to top off the Chair 2 lift fall last month, there was another incident at June on Saturday, of a Lift fall on the J6 lift in the afternoon, around 12:30 pm

Interesting. They had a crew of around ten people working on it for a week.

It’s going to be a weird spring,

talk of keeping canyon open beyond reg closing .

We got double last chair today!
Got on chair 23 at 3:33 (it closes at 3:30), took a run there and then went over and skied fast bump laps on chair 3. As I got on the chair at 4:02 the liftie said "ok, thats enough." (That chair closes at 4.)
