Day 5 and no snow

Riding today was iffy at best. There is snow up there, but it's been riden over for almost a week now, and I can't find my usual patches of powder. Apparently, other people know about my patches of powder.

The brand new 6 million dollar lift stopped a few times on the way up Hidden Lake. If the lift breaks, the snow patrol must get you off using a rope and a piece of pipe shaped like a 'T' that you sit on and they shimmy you down through thin air. My riding buddy says it's not that bad, but I'll pass, thank you very much.

In other news, my toe warmers got so warm today that I had to stop in the middle of the run, take off my boot and jettison them into the powder. Hopefully, no deer or antelope will eat them come summer.

Boot warmers? Who uses those at this day and age. =)
