I'm aiming to be at the Basin tomorrow (Friday the 9th). It is supposed to be a stellar day with lots of sunshine and heat. A high of 62 is forecast.

I'll be there early for the nice firm turns and staying for the slush.

Birth order, but may soon be 3 on the family ski team and then I'm in trouble :).
It's "interesting" when they get better than you. Motivation for continual improvement.

I started when they did, so it was day one motivation. I still justify my extra days for being able to "keep up". ogwink

Funny, I think your son took this picture of me in all blue. You look somewhat unmotivated ;)

I remember that outfit. As you skied off ahead of us, I remarked "you know, she does have good form.....[wait for it....] and she skis pretty well too."

Lotta snow to close in two days. No Lake Reveal yet. Sun early, now high clouds and a lot cooler than forecast so far.
