I started the morning in the Dentist's chair. That generally doesn't hold the promise of an excellent day to come. That was wrong in this case although I will admit that I endured the most painful tooth cleaning I can remember.
I had scheduled this appointment months ago for 8:30. When I realized I had scheduled this ski date with Rob and Mark, it was too late to cancel my dentist appointment. I decided to show up early in case they could get me in and send me on my way to a day of skiing.
No such luck.
So it was about 9:30 when Rob got to the house to pick me up.
When I get a late start, I'm always anxious about parking. The lot was pretty full when we arrived but Rob drove up to the front to see if there were any empty spots. It wasn't looking good for us when we saw a spot right next to the Ski Patrol Chalet. At that point, I knew it was going to be a good day.
And what a day it was. Clear blue skies and temperatures in the high 20's. Still no new snow in over a week but the main runs were well groomed and the snow softened up as the day went on.
We skied se7en runs before going in for lunch and skied three more before calling it a day.
We were back in town and having beer at the Hub by 4:00.
Todays' 10 runs gets me up to 60 for the season at a cost per run of $6.67. The next time I go up I will hit the break even point where I would have spent as much on daily lift tickets as I paid for my season pass.
