AM: Snowbasin groomers. The 3 inches of dust on re-frozen wasn't too appealing so went with the skinny fast skis and lots of gondola rides. Glad I did. Everytime I got on a car it was full of some real chararcters. First ride was a group of wide-eyed-virginians. Never skied out west before, first run of their first day. Great to hear their questions and nervous chatter about being on a real mountain. Second ride was a group of 80-year-old guys wearing Sun Valley season passes. Turns out they had been skiing Sun Valley since the early 40's and were on one of the original Sun Valley area high school ski teams together. Still out getting after it in their 80's! Gotta love it Next was an older couple from Pennsylvania who own a small ski resort. Next ride was with a group of F-16 pilots. Had as much fun riding the lift as I did skiing I think. Finished the day off with 5 fast laps on the women's downhill. Leg burner!
(John Paul lodge, and some of the best views in the Wassatch. Love running up here in the summer, love skiing up here in the winter.)
PM: Hour and a half in the wheelhouse again. Hip felt great thanks to some of Sean's Blak Majik. Hit the hills on this one. Indian for a ways, part way up Hidden Valley trail (forgot what a steep mutha that one is!) Down to Rainbow and back, three laps around pond to Taylor Canyon loop. Legs felt good after the skiing this morning. Great day!
