Day 46

Conditions: Firm
Location: Breckenridge, CO

Today we surpassed our total days from last year (45). So, even if we don’t get to 50 at least we made some progress. At this point we’re on par to get only 49 days, unless Boyne Mountain miraculously stays open next weekend. Dirk argued that 49 was a better number anyway because people would know that was the real number, while people might think that the number 50 was rounded. But to me it’s more about getting to the goal of 50 than having a number that people take seriously.

We ended out fourth trip out west with a few hours at Breckenridge. The snow was pretty hard and things were icy at times, but we still made it count. After Dirk’s speed-racer tune he had insane edges and was euro-carving all over the hill at top speed. My board wasn’t cutting through the ice like his, but we got in some good runs.

Highlights:

- Dirk’s edges

Lowlights:

- We checked out Horseshoe Bowl just for fun, and it was dust on crust. After that, we stayed on the groomers.

Après Ski:

We changed and packed up the car in the parking lot. Then we headed to the good old Fairfield Inn in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Days to go: 4
