And a million people chasing it when the slush was better.

QFT.

Wait for the sun next week!

Not much of a storm, but 3” and cooler temps stopped the bleeding.

Al sez lower mountain trails have been consolidated, which looks to mean that Ramrod bumps are being/have been harvested.

Bummer.

Google Photos reminded me there have been better May's. A bunch of Pugskiers skied the East Wall four years ago yesterday, long before we knew we were Pugskiers.

I’m pretty much just in the make it to June 3rd camp at this point.

After surviving HS graduation for the two oldest - wait! there’s still the track awards banquet tonite for event #600 in the last two weeks - 60 degrees and an Odell IPA is a lot more appealing at this point than East Wall.

MAYhem!

Every time someone asks if it's sad to be an empty nester, Exbihit A on the "no" side is the May calendar, and the ... banquets. And awards ceremonies. And...

(You'll be glad to know I attended my last ever soccer banquet with a fresh gash across my face from er ducking a rope at ABasin ... I was actually coming back IN to the ski area; it was a powder day and I knew I could get in some laps before the weekend noon ordeal-I-mean-banquet.)

^^^that’s an excellent coping wound for a final banquet .

I’m taking boy 3 who only “continued” to 9th grade this year to A-Basin tomorrow. At least two of us are going to get sliding on snow therapy. And one of us will get Odell therapy.

My poor daughter has this respiratory bug that’s going around and has literally broken out in hives. I’m getting scared to even look in the mirror.

MAYhem indeed

The boy.

OdellSlush. Or Odellush.



Also a @SkiNurse and @FairToMiddlin sighting. Lunch though as opposed to skiing .

Upper Ramrod bumps survive, lower in harvest.



Storm clouds have stayed to the northwest.



No Reveal yet. It’s in there.

That wiggle sure left a mark:

Hope you wigglers are proud of yourselves. .

I'm planning to head up early Saturday for a few hours of laps if anyone else will be around.

 

[nay]

We were planning on Sunday, but other things prevail. I was looking forward to Festival if the Brewpubs and making one of my sons designated driver, but not to be.

I’m probably only hitting closing on the 3rd at this point.

And as expected, no extension weekends. They are going to 4:00 on Sunday.
