The Season Begins

Well Keystone has been open for just over a week now and the new Gondola has already closed once due to high winds. Call me crazy but I thought they beefed the thing up because it had to close so much due to high winds, and a little breeze up top shuts the thing down. No biggie, I don't mind the chair (which parallels it), I just don't see the benefit of the new Gondola yet.

Snow making on the Tubing Hill is at 50%, we have a broken pump so we can only run 2 of the 4 snow guns. Not the biggest set back since they have been going for a week non-stop and wont stop until we are open.

Already been out 4 days on the skis this year, twice on the teles and twice on the carvers. No cross-country yet, the golf course still has grass showing. So hiking is what I've been doing when I'm not working, well that and reading.

Went up to Wildernest today and found the Mesa Cortina trail, something I always meant to do last year but had trouble with my car not making it up the roads. That wasn't a problem this year, just pop it in 4-wheel. A four hour hike, just shy of 9 miles round trip with a couple side hikes in the middle.



Not many great pictures from the day but this is a clearing I stumbled upon on one of the side hikes, can't wait to see this in full bloom in June.

Before I go I'd like to plug my bike for sale, which can also just be a frameset. Click here for details.
