Sorry to miss Yeahman (should have tried this telephone app the techies are pushing). Very variable snow from wind slab to light spindrift depending on aspect. Never found the Smokey's shack Yeahman posted about yesterday or see any recently fired mayor's office employees, but the snow in that area was very nice.

x2 on the variable conditions. Wind effect up high for sure.
About the Tram, it was being run for patrol today and probably for troubleshooting and testing.
The story I was told was 2nd hand but from a guy on the last cabin yesterday.
At 3:00 the tram runs for scenic riders only, no skis allowed.
Yesterday after 3:00 the tram malfunctioned and there were about 30 folks on the summit sans ski equipment.
I am unsure of the malfunction but at one point the idea was to have the folks w/o ski gear hike down Liberty Bowl.
Someone made the call to run them down under some sort of a fix of the machine.
2nd cabin load the cabin began gaining speed repeatedly and was stopped repeatedly using either the service or E-brake. Near the bottom the brake system failed to hold the cabin and it came into the bottom dock a bit hot and slammed the back of the dock. No one injured seriously, AFAIK no one needed medical treatment. It sounds scary as hell.
Also, to the ground slide on Castro's today (repeater) and on the Dirtbag Wall chutes yesterday, (Queen?).Last edited by Bunion 2020; 01-30-2020 at 06:32 PM.

You might be able to parlay said troubles into a future crowd reducing tactic. A loud discussion of these troubles in a long line might reduce the pack by a considerable factor.

What could possibly go wrong with 30 people romping down Liberty Bowl in ski or snowboard boots and likely no poles? I always recommend people on the scenics bring poles so they can walk and look around.
As stated this could make tram "walk on" once the slamming the tram dock story gets around.

Next time Talisman! Had a good morning skiing Shedhorn after I hooked up with Bunion and his crew, found some fun powder pockets. Afternoon I just lapped 17 Green and BRT south, the windbuff right under the Challenger lift was really nice. Ski patrol I rode the lift with said he heard "a few days" to get the tram fixed, we'll see. That whole incident as described by Bunion sounds horrifying. Those people are probably scarred for life!

Thanks. Yeah, I've seen cars left overnight in several lots up there but wondered if they were risking getting towed.
One of these days I'll try to hook up with some of you guys up there, but for now I'm totally gimpy and can only do a couple hours of groomers a day, followed by a few days to recover. I miss skiing 3D snow and adventurous terrain!

Since all my employees showed up for work today, I skied bell-to-bell with The Girl Who Lives Next Door To Yeahman’s Dad. We were all over the place, Bowl laps, Shady Chute laps, Single Jack laps. She really likes gladed tree runs.
Bonus: today I bought my very first flat brim hat. I thought I would look like a fucking tool wearing it, but she likes it, so WINNING.

If you want to witness my flat-brim steeze in person, I am meeting toast2226 at the Toast (heh) coffee shop in Town Center at 7 am.
Red puffy, black hat.

My steezy new flat brim, of course. I slept in it last night.
Met up with toast2226 and handed off the lift tickets. He can verify that this hat is the shizz.

Can confirm that Harry's hat is steezy a.f.
Harry - many thanks for the assistance this morning. If you're ever up in the fish, I can reciprocate.
I'll be sliding around with Mrs. Toast and some out of state friends today through Sunday. I'm yellow-ish jacket, brown pants, gray helmet. Ask for change.
