Day 3 - Keystone

Out 9:00 to 2:00 with lunch at the top; clear and warm again with little to no wind; 17 runs; 30,448 vertical; skied the Nordica Enforcer 88's; conditions were pretty good, but there are a couple of really chewed up spots; not much of a crowd; skiing pretty well; physically everything feels pretty good except my right foot - boot issues; the walk in and out to the Gondi here sucks horribly.

Day 2 - Keystone

On the hill 9:00 to 1:15 with a break for lunch; high, thick overcast with warm temps and very little wind - 64° in the parking lot when I left; 14 runs; 24,744 vertical; skied the Nordica Enforcer 88's; snow was good up top - dry, soft and carvable - but did get a little sticky and wet below the Montezuma Chair; some people but not really crowded at all; first time on these skis since I ran over them in the parking lot at Greek Peak the year before last - I forgot just how great they are; I need to remember to save a lit bit for the looooooong walk back to the parking lot here; no pictures worthy of posting yet.

Day 1 - Keystone

I let the Sunday crowd 'thin' before starting at 2:00; skied right to last chair without a break; 60° and sunny with very little wind; skied the Volkl Kendos; 9 runs; 15,633 vertical; firm snow with some small bumps; lots of people on the hill till very near closing; sun screen, sweat pants and spring gloves; blackout lens made the last two runs pretty dark; started slow, but cranked it up by run four.

Day 23 - Stowe

6" overnight; this isn't GP and I just wasn't up to it; had to quit after 5 runs - Hayride, Nosedive (non-stop), Liftline, National, Starr.

Day 22 - Greek Peak

Another really nice day; cold with several heavy snow squalls, but not too windy; very few people for a major skiing holiday; my GS skis made all today's groomers feel like soft pack; skied all the snowmaking trails today except Alpha, Karyatis and Meadows.

Day 21 - Greek Peak

Good day on the hill; big crowd by mid-day but Chair 4 and an early lunch in the bar allowed me to miss most of the pain; Alchmene was suprisingly good; Hercules was open for the first time this year too.

Day 20 - Bristol Mountain

The similarities between Blue and Bristol are considerable; my GS skis were the perfect choice today; even the steep groomers didn't really get too scraped off despite a fairly large crowd; skied for more than 4 hours.

Day 19 - Blue Mountain

A nice morning on the hill with Uncle Bob.

Day 18 - Greek Peak

Flurries with a quick, heavy snow squall and temps right at 30°; Chair 1 today - snowmaking and grooming underway on Alchmene under the main chair; plenty of people but no lift lines; Odyssey and Zeus both ungroomed but skiable with the appropriate attitude; Odyssey was in perfect racing condition - firm and ripply; legs are tired after skiing on hard snow all day.

Day 17 - Greek Peak

A little snow overnight and this morning helped things alot; very windy; first day this season on GS skis - it took a little while but I finally got comfortable with them; any ungroomed, new snow was extremely sticky - had to conserve speed to even make it down Castor this morning; Illiad was good.
