    I can't find the "who's skiing the Bird tomorrow" thread

    I'll be there first thing.

    I think the real question is, "Who's not skiing the Bird tomorrow?" I can't wait to wait two hours per tram lap.

    Anyway, I'll be there, hopefully by 8:30.

    I'm back now. Only made a couple of laps.

    Tram lines = long.

    Peruvian side = BC, but gates were open. special advisory on tram that they
    would be closing shortly due to rising temps. violation = tram closure apparently.

    Road to provo=closed, but being bombed when I left.

    MB = closed for year.

    Snow was tracked and getting thick.

    Maybe I'm just a grouch, but it wasn't "all that". Not even close to getting into the top 10 of the year. Top 30? maybe. I miss Alta

    My Boy Stump, you should have been with me (and BumZ and Little Larry). North Baldly was open and AWESOME. I only got a few laps as well as work is a BITCH but still a great morning. The tram lines were stupid. I was the last person let on the first tram, Boo-Boo Kitty was right behind me (tough luck). Couldn't see a thing first run but went skiers right of elevator shaft and just sank in. Total white room until the groomer way below. Baldy was money. Rode Amasa Back on Tuesday night, skied sweet pow on Thursday morning. Man I love living here.

    It was very good today. Dense? Yes. Wet down low? Yes. Super F-ing fun on Spatulas? You bet.

    Best run of the day by far was my 2nd one, and first on Baldy. Skied the little trees between West and North, and it was totally untracked, super smooth, and tons-o-fun. I could ski stuff like that forever.

    The tram line did suck, but it was worth it for the quality turns.

    Like I said, it just might be that I was grouchy. Any pow in May is good pow, but I didn't get anything that felt ball deep or compared to the pow days we had in Feb. or March.

    Besides, I was with Miss Stump, so no skiing with the boys for me. Meh. I need to buy a bike. Glad everyone else had a better time than me though.

    Thats not what I heard. I also heard that the roads here would be paved with gumdrops and when it rained in the valley it would be in the form of chocolate milk, and that utards travelled on rainbows and pegasuses. I've been totally misled.

    anyways, i'm vagina deep in sand. gotta go douche it out. i'm defiintely looking forward to doing more touring on the 180" of base we have. and i guess i just didn't find hte good spots today. ease back paintrain!

    Cheers to that. I call my Baldy run the second best Baldy I've ever had. I think I crossed like two tracks my whole creamy smooth Spatulated run. Yum.

    Oh, and Mr. Altagirl, I forgive you for getting on 1st tram. I enjoyed the 2nd!

    I have no complaints.

    I parked in the Gad lot and was looking for Lumpy. When I got to the ticket window the place was empty; I flashed my comp ticket to the lifty and he said I could take one ride up as long as I went over to the Plaza and redeemed my ticket for a pass. I called Lumpy on the ride up at 8:55 and we met at the top. But we were having a little too much fun and skied too low for me to make it to the Plaza. Oops, I was hoping the lifty would understand that my thinking was impaired by the abundance of powder. He did understand, but he said "Can I trust you to go get a pass?" and of course I said 'yes'. But, alas, Little Cloud had just opened as we neared the top of Gadzoom. So we did what any other powder skiing maggot would do - we headed for Little Cloud. Our first run on the rope line at far skier's right of Regulator was fabulous. I think we got another couple rides on LC before the crowds discovered our semi-private wonderland. Chatted with Ned & Kristin while waiting in a growing line before a couple more runs on LC; but, I was starting to feel the onset of RAD (Responsible Adult Syndrome). We made for Wilbur Bowl; but, lured by the siren song of fresh swow with nary a track, we dropped in and skied a nice line to Mid-Gad restaurant and made our way to the parking lot.

    All-in-all, it was a good day to play hooky. And, I still have my comp ticket for another day's use - thank you Snowbird.

    That's one of my favorite lines down Baldy. Didya duck into Broom Closet on the exit (or is that totally filled in?) Always seems to be a bit deeper and less tracked.

    Nice to see ya getting sum still!

    They probably decided they had to run it when the Tram line was a full maze by 8:30. erg.
