Tuesday December 30
Got my car stuck in the driveway of the house. Didn't get it out until 1:30. Wind delays. Only Jet and Bonnie were open. Received 6-8 inches between Monday and Tuesday. It was blowing everywhere. Just rode some groomers on my old 156 Custom. Jib style with a duck stance. Interesting, but it's time to retire the 156.

Today wasn't much better than Tuesday. Rode with Leslie and some of Leslie's friends. Decent conditions in the Orchards, which seems to be a theme this year. Jet and Bonnie were the only thing open again. Not much else to write about.

We had a great NYE party at our house. Keg of Switchback ale. Pool, Ping Pong, and Beirut.

Friday January 1
The tram side lifts were finally open today. Vommie and I did a run through Beaver Pond, but it was sketchy. Went back to Jet side and did some orchard and a dip run. Did the dip with a big group - about 14 people. But the Dip is still not ready again.

Jay needs more snow.

What a horrible, horrible EPIC week. Wednesday January 28th - Drove up in the morning during a snow storm. It wasn't a bad drive, just took a long time. Unfortunately, it appears that I lost my phone the day before but didn't realize it until this morning. This delayed me about 45 minutes. Never found it. Got to the mountain between 1:00 and 1:30pm. There was a good amount of snow falling and a fair share on the mountain. Probably about 4-6 inches. I was really soar starting out and had problems with my boots. I only rode for about 2 hours. Didn't have great runs, but the snow showed potential. Wanted to save my energy for Thursday. Thursday January 29th - Woke up early but took my time to get to the mountain. Don't know why. It appeared that we only had a couple more inches over night when I looked out the window of the house. I was wrong. When I pulled out of the driveway I got stuck, because there was about 8 inches of light, fluffy snow on the ground. But that...

Trail Date: 12/2/2016 Headed up Friday afternoon to get more settled in the house. Plus there was snow forecasted for Saturday. Woke up saturday to about a foot or more of a heavy snow on the hill. The mountain looked great! Started with a Derricks run, filming Kathleen. I believe we rode this a couple times. I was noticing several patrollers coming out of the woods as we were going up the lift for the third time. As we approached the top, the patrollers were just about to drop the rope! K and I quickly jumped down kitzbuehl, I then went into the lower cash money woods (jet glade??). We continued to hit the stuff skiers left on the jet...Montrealler and Hell Woods mostly. We also decided to hike to CanAm. It was fantastic. We got barely touched (not untouched...) turns. It was fantastic for the second day of the year. Much better than I could have hoped for. We took several breaks since we aren't in tip top shape. We didn't venture into the thicker woods either. K decided to ...
