Day 33

Conditions: 40 degrees; packed powder
Location: Heavenly, CA/NV

Tuesday and Wednesday were hard to top; we didn’t expect today to come close, and it didn’t. With no new snow and some sore bodies for two long days, we allowed ourselves to sleep twelve sweet hours, from nine to nine. We finally rolled out to the slopes at 10 in the morning.

The snow was okay; it certainly made us appreciate the past two days. We took another run through the Fire Break gate, where we had our crazy run on Saturday. Since we knew where we were going today, it didn’t seem so extreme.


Fire Break Gate: Round 2

We spent the afternoon playing the in trees and doing bumps. We were sore and tired, but we stayed out until four in the afternoon like good little Spartans.

Highlights:

- The out of bounds gate had some nice turns
- Lunch at Wolfgang Puck’s Express was only $20; normally we have to dish out twice that on the mountain.

Lowlights:

- We were sore and spoiled from the past two days, so things felt a little ho-hum.

Après Ski:

We ate an early dinner and watched the film Smart People.


Days to go: 17
