Flights from SEA to Mazatlan were around $1k round trip when I looked a couple weeks ago. Trying to convince my wife for TX to have the best chance. (un) Fortunately it lines up with spring break around here.

- All lift service for skiing and snowboarding will be stop at 2p, for fairly obvious reasons.
- The Tram will begin operations for the day at 2p to bring folks to the summit. Limit of 120 people, $40pp. No ski or snowboard gear will be permitted on the viewing Trams. Everyone must return to the base by Tram.
wait, their shutting down the lifts for this? kinda defeats the purpose, no?
you guys planning on keeping the lifts spinning at sugarloaf?

ARGHHHHH....cloud cover in P.C.

And right as scheduled the clouds roll in.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Looks like Steens mountain/Alvord desert would have been the place to be

Also intermittent clouds. Went for a bike ride to watch the crescent in my shadows.

View from the deck, maybe 5 minutes past peak (80%). Welders glass worked better than eclipse glasses, and both worked better than I expected. Seeing the full annulus would have been cooler, but not worth driving hours for. For zero effort this was great.

We were straight square in the path, so got to see a perfect ring. Very cool. Not quite as dramatic as the one in '17 we were in MT for (lived in the path that time too!) but the next one should be a good one. Still, a worthy family event for a great live astronomy demo.
