Candy Land was great.

I mounted up a Solstice present to myself. “New” touring rig. Gear Swap skis and bindings with skins from a long gone setup.

Figured the bottom was too spicy, and with no snow in the next few weeks it’s gonna be a bit of a wait, yeah? Or is it a staffing issue?

I've been wondering about staffing too.. Seems like liftops got a late start this year and has been struggling to catch up?

there is a lot going on and I’m out of the decision loop

I rode a chair in the rain with an 11 year old girl yesterday who said “Mattly lied...” about the weather.

LOL, sorry about the ass crack Mike. A guy has to adjust his boots!

Great day. We did Griz a few times, but there where some wind slabs and ice devils- especially on the snow valley side. Ended up staying most of the day in spyglass. It was $$$ over there.
