Stouts and Skis

Port Brewing's Older Viscosity at the Mtn Sun with Hayride, SpeedRacer, SB, and King Wednesday night. It's stout month at the Sun's and seeing how this is the last week with the bestest selection, it had to be done. With the above as well as Abyss on tap, well...it was a tasty night.

Last night we had a bit of a snow squall at around 4pm, right in time for rush hour. Not sure what happened, it was as if a bunch of Floridians replaced all the mountain folk because there were more accidents than i've ever heard of in one single hour since I've lived here. Canyon, Mag, Sugar were all closed due to accidents and no sign of opening up. So what were we to do but hit the South Sun and go for a Czar. Yum.

Up the southern railroad route up to home we made it just fine to Hayride's place and planned this morning's dawn patrol to some SideCountry at the resort thinking there'd be at least as much snow as at our houses 1,000 vertical feet downhill (4" at Hayride's house).

Not so much. Maybe 1" over a moguled out glade made for some interesting turns, but hiding from the Patrollers on snowmobiles made it fun in that middle-school manner. Any day that starts on skis or a bike is a good day.
