Week of Jan 12th, 2008

1/14 - Night Skiing at Echo with David.
They were making snow, and with the lights David and I had a blast.
Verts 8,907 STD 192,231

1/16 - Mary Jane and Eagle Wind - Spring Skiing with Jedd in January.

Absolutely Gorgeous Day. Snow was still soft, even though it was sunny. Not the bullet proof ice we expected.
Eagle had rocks up top, but was nice in the tight trees. Jedd dropped in a tree well, but he is still with us.

1/2/09 - Day After New Years
Bruce and David came up. All hard pack, so spent the day on blue cruisers. Did Arrowhead, Mary Jane Trail and Sunny Side all day.

The resort was packed, and after our slices and beers the line at Super Gauge was to the Pony and the singles line to the goose. WOW! This is why we get up early.

1/9/09 Jedd Joins
FIVE inches of Powder! Was a great day. Spent lots of time flirting with trees and bombing the pow pow.

Jedd is out of shape, I looked pretty good for once.

Did 11 runs, plus Peps.
Great Day, best this Season.

1/10/09 TWO RUNS OPEN AT ECHO
A cold and windy morning on Mt. Evans. Fortunately new snow and man made fluff allowed Echo to open, wait for it, a SECOND RUN. It was groomed and pretty nice compared to the glorified ice rink I have been skiing all year.
Beat my laptime new time to beat: 5:58
