Safety First at A-Basin!

The Shust and I came up to
The Basin on this Monday, to
check out the fancy new safety
measures now in place on "Exhibition
Lift", safety bar freshness...
Today is the last day o' November.
One month left in this dirty decade
...unbelievable.

No holds barred, but this bar's held...I said.
white winding way.
Andrew and Crisp rolled up after
a few runs, joined us fer some more.
Sunburst Sillouhette "68".

Hasta la vista...gravy.

White Lines.

No illicit drug reference here,
just lots of lines in the freshly fallen
11" of snow accumulation.The past 3 days
here at Arapahoe Basin have been bountiful,
praise Ullr.
Zig-Zagged
Crosshatched.
Intertwined.
Just absolutely crazy-assed "S's"
DJ Crisp came along to lay down some tracks.
Dukie and the Disc.
Nice all week is the forecast,
so another visit this week is
highly likely.

Rocky Road.

It's still early season conditions
here at A-Basin, but as T-giving looms,
worry sets in...where's the snow?
Well forecasters say it's coming in
tonight through the weekend.
I sure hope it brings much fluffy stuff,
as the mountain looks a bit like
Rocky Road ice cream, a bit
chocolaty and chunky for skiing.
More Marshmallow!
From atop Norway chair.
this run needs to "ripen"
"The Beach"...still dirt, rocks, and slush.
The guns are ready, gotta be cold enough though.
B.O.B. say's...game on.
mmmm... tire slushy.
the day the music died???

Still only 3 regular runs open,
beautiful day to be out today.
Just waiting for more snow,
which = more runs open,
= more visits = more posts.
C'mon back good buddies.
