Comments: | On the hill at 9:00, skied alone and left at 10:30; Last day of the year for me; Tons of people there today after nobody all week?; Great season, I'm going to like retirement if all ski season's turn out like this one; Returned my Rossignol's at the Basin today.

Comments: | On the hill at 9:00, skied alone and left at 11:30; Thunder and lightning closed the lifts for 30 minutes or so at 9:45, so I had a quick cup of coffee before heading back out; Nobody on the hill, maybe 35-40 cars in the KBL lot when I left at 11:30; Frozen at the top, soft at the bottom, and anything that wasn't groomed was closed - and for good reason, I ducked a rope to ski Lower East Fall, big mistake. It was totally firmed up crap left over from the soft snow yesterday afternoon; TOD: Bittersweet - not great, just not a crappy as everything else |
