    It will be open.
    In a timely fashion prolly with no precip tomorrow, but a.m. wind.
    That path what hit the road is Valeries Climax slide path. No tunnel planned under that one.
    Funny how it got its name: 1st year Snowbird was open, employee housing was in trailers on the north side of the center, where the vendors are during Oktoberfest. Really big storms used to happen. Really. Anyway with interlodge in place; everyone under hard shelter, the Willows Gun shot above the village. Same path that ran today hit the Snowbird Center and buried the trailers. Upon checking out the upper circle it was discovered that Valerie had taken someone in an amorous fashion in a trailer and was buried for her efforts; Valeries Climax.
    Time spent skiing cannot be deducted from one's life.

    It is open. Was looking forward to a night at Albion. Tomorrow will be quite the day.

    Great story, love it! Question for ya, was Valaries the same path that ran onto Chickadee a couple years ago in April during the huge interlodge week?

    No, that was the Hilton West. Story time. To kill some time.
    Lived in the Hilton, the employee housing across from the top of Chickadee 20 yrs with family and dogs.
    Got a call on the land line on a day off; Hilton West just ran, can you check it out. Grabbed the dog and gear and was there in 2? minutes. The road was open and the shack at entry 4 was used by the race team who were there at the time. Talked with some coaches and searched with the dog.
    By the time another dog team arrived, we had searched the debris a coupla times. Problem is that when a dog is on site too quick, and one clears the site too quickly, one hasn't allowed for scent rise time, which is dependent on depth, density, and snow type.
    Jesse, the dog I had with me had a bad habit of indicating needlessly if one stopped moving for very long. We encourage digging indications. Wasted some probers on occasion. Other than that, really dependable.
    I stopped to brief the other handler, and Jesse starts digging. I roll my eyes at the other handler, probe the indication, and strike the roof of a car.
    Good girl...
    Edit to add: Brain fart. There is no Hilton West slide path. The slide that struck Chickadee two years ago, and the story above were Valeries East slide path. The slide that struck the center involved Valeries and Valeries East combined. It is really one big slope.

    non ikon/traffic related, and this board is beyond fucked, going to use this thread as the off topic thread:Anyone want to goto a bees game this week? In town all week, thinking thursday. Heading down solo at some point anyway. Hopefully cheap tickets can be found somewhere.
