The seasons they are a changin....
So I just spent an excellent three days off of work. They nicely coincided with the last weekend that Marmot Basin was open. We had two beautiful sun and snow filled days (almost a quarter of what we had all season long) and I caught one of my top three rides of the season.
I hiked 3/4 of the peak with a buddy and dropped into the Peak Run following only two previous sets of tracks in some beautiful powder. It was sunny and hot for that section and as soon as we made it down to Charlie's Bowl we ran into a whiteout. The timing could not have been any better. The last day was another beauty with lots of snow falling and the farewell to the Kiefer T-Bar.
The next day off I spent on the bike trails with another buddy and had the first fall of the season. Skills are a little rusty from the winter off and I hesitated on a downhill and went off the side. A few minor scrapes and bruises to inspire me to improve or say farewell to the skin on my shins.
This week I'll pack the winter gear away and continue the rollout of frisbees, baseball mits, rollerblades and bike accessories. Here's hoping work doesn't get in the way of all the play!
