Do you think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? ~ Dumbledore
So I am still over here in Gunnison. I did manage to get out yesterday to visit the Butte in its last week of service for this season. Let me tell you… the skiing here is still off the hook. They got 8″ (yeah) of somewhat heavy but actually pretty nice pow. I scoff at the 8″ number since there were times I was knee deep in the stuff and last time I checked my knees were over 8″ off the ground but who’s counting, right?
And to top it off, the Butte has this killer ticket deal so I am skiing at $20 per day. Ridunculous.
Teo bowl was the goods but the Funnel was skiing really well too. They also had closed one of the runs on the front side because a mama bear and her two cubs had recently come out of their den so they were being given some breathing space. Kinda neat.
It is snowing again now so tomorrow could be awesome. I may get out for some more turns. We’ll see about how things go here at home.
I’ll keep you posted.
