SEASON THRESHOLD

11-23-21 by dave

I have brought The Trailer back down from the High Desert and it is now securely parked and stabilized against the weather next to the coral, where the horses are glad to have some company again going into the Winter. The hill is on track to open on December 1, with festivities, SWAG, and music to bring in the new season. I was up there the other day to stock the locker and got a couple shots of the hill.

The upper mountain is looking good with all that early snow.

The Faithful have been working ALTA fully since the first of the snow fall and I have been hearing good reports.

Upper Gad Valley is still holding the pack, but still needs a lot to fatten things up.

The snow making crew is working hard to get access to the lift in Gad Valley and I think there will be plenty of cover on a man made base to get to the bottom.

While I was up there the other day, I joined the Morning Crew for breakfast at the Forklift to bring in the new season and compare notes about the Summer’s fun. We’ll all be back again for yet another year of skiing frenzy!!

By way of igniting the stoke, I offer this shot of Andrew getting jiggy with it in the Southern Hemisphere. He is a great skier and will be coming back to The Bird as soon as he is able. I’ll see you dark and early for the season opener. Stay Frosty!!
