Wheeler Farm Loops

AM - 10 miles.

PM - Ski tour w/ Andrea: Adventures in Upper White Pine - skied Red Baldy's NW face and Red Stack's center Tri Chute [5000']. Snow conditions were "not terrible" at times and "pretty decent" at others... ranging from death sun crust to windboard to recycled chalk (that's actually a good one) to isothermal summer slush, depending on aspect and elevation. I'm hoping for some winter weather to return in March, but I'll take the blue skies and these views for the time being.

PM - 5 miles w/ Andrea.

AM/PM - Lift skiing at Solitude w/ Andrea and her parents on a warm, sunny day. Fun spring-like conditions for groomers, moguls, and goggle-tanning.

Ski day #50 of the season for me. The century mark is potentially in play, but probably a bit of a stretch. Models are showing that El Nino (ie. snow!) will return in mid-March. I just want some more powder days... like 5-6 weekends in a row, again. That's all I ask for!

AM/PM - Lift skiing at Snowbasin w/ Andrea and her parents. Warm and sunny again. The snow was fun... downright slushy at times due to the lower elevation.
