Spring skiing

I thought that skiing was over for the season – I was wrong.  For the month of September I have only skied 3 days until yesterday (the 19th).  But some fresh blood, Dave the Sailor leaving town, some snow on the forecast and some gorgeous spring days has swung that around….  Looks like I’ll ski 4 days in a row and next week might involve another 4 days + if the snow that is forecast eventuates.

Being spring things do get a little crazy – Richard the Pilot is back in town for his old man’s 80th so he joined Dave the Sailor and I up at Remarks for some craziness.  Today we rode the chair 3 times and we had 4 runs…. Yes we did a lot of walking.

Below me are all the people riding the lifts…. I think I saw the cuzzies down there somewhere – I hope they are enjoying the spring weather.

Now spring does get kinda crazy – long days, longer afternoons drinking.  No alcohol thus far in the day but here are some summit poses.

Dave the Sailor and I are still arguing about our grocery bill – he is upset that I have to buy shampoo and he doesn’t have any use for shampoo.  We decided to settle this like gentleman….. with a dual.

Dave the Sailor picked up last week so he took pity on me and we made up – a Gay Ski Week moment.

OK after some more cuddles we decided to sack up and ski Toilet Bowl – the runout looks completely un-skiable but I was keen and I agreed to run back up the road to get the car.  The hike up….

Yes this is part of the hike up…..

The ski down…..

 

And this is part of the walk out….
