I just took a ride up The Gondola and the sun is smiling with the widest of grins, there is little to no clouds, and we are expecting the high to reach the upper 50’s. I am in the midst of a Conundrum, should I downhill all day or should I put the snowshoes on and hit the cross country trails? Have you had a chance to snowshoe or cross country yet? Another great event to mix things up is the Moonlight Snowshoe Tours; it is amazing how bright and visible the trails are from a full moon. It is going to be a warm one today! If you don’t put on that Sun block, I can almost assure you that your exposed skin will be red as a lobster by the end of the day. I’m not trying to preach too much but, “Drink Plenty of Water,” dehydration and heat strokes are a very common and mis-understood phenomena.
Don’t forget to cheer on Northstar’s Team Rider, Elena Hight tomorrow as she throws down in theOlympic Halfpipe Event tomorrow! I’ll keep you up to date with the weather coming in, I am on my way up the hill with my video camera, so throw a trick, cut a huge turn, and check the blog tomorrow. My tip for the day; ski down to Baxter’s between 2 and 5pm through Sunday the 21st for a $10 shot and a beer, you also get free french fries when you purchase an alcoholic beverage. Kick up your feet by the fireplace and enjoy the new nice and comfortable patio, a great place for après skiing, there will be a DJ outside as well.
Talk to you soon,
Chris
