I've still got my five days too. With the below-average snowpack and warm temps leading to unusual early March rain in Denver yesterday evening, I wonder if we'll all be trying to use our A-basin days/passes in a compressed May.
I have a new Friday "ritual" at LL. Early morning touring lap, then ski until my legs can longer keep me standing. Today proved to be especially prescient in going for the early morning tour as I heard traffic on I-70 hit insane proportions later.
Today I got the untracked run as a reward lap for my slog up the mountain. Conditions were fun if you knew where to look and I had great company along for the ride while we were tearing it up.
Oh, and I literally spaced sitting on my poles on BMX, hopped off right over them, and one took a ride for another 30 yards and dropped under the lift.
Liftie had to slow it down and I went wading. Deep in there, shoulda skied it.

I left a touch early to get my COVID-19 vaccination, a Pfizer one, in Frisco. This was apparently the first day when there were LOTS of vaccinations available and the scheduling didn't keep up with the influx of recipients. I had to drive all the way to WalMart to get in the line of traffic on CO 9 to get my vaccination. It was a worthwhile 2 hour wait as I am one shot down, one to go.
Seems to be a trend... it's kind of hard to see, because this is blown up a lot... but this is me in Olympic trees with a sapling I ran into between my legs and my left ski wedged and stuck under a branch under the snow. Eventually while trying to figure out how to get out, the branch broke and I was able to slide forward.One of us may have ran into a tree which I can confirm wasn’t a great idea.
