Dr. Scott Kaiser (henceforth, Kize the speed freak) and I partook of a frigid day (<20° all day, in and out of sun) @ Breck. My friend BobR grabbed sinus crap and had to bail. We had a blast scoring 16Kft in under 2 hrs... it turns out Kize is a corduroy speed daemon and the lack of other fools on the mountain allowed very quick turns across pk8 and pk9 (6 and 10 are still closed). It was great skiing my 1st time with my friend and the short day too allowed me to get back to the Front Range for dentistry this week. No goggle gap on these supremely aware studs.
Once back I retrieved our packages from the past week and included is a micro-jump starter. Given the load I am now drawing from the Crusher battery to maintain my on-board fridge at 35° I had two choices - 1) build a 2 battery system in the Crusher or 2) carry an on-board emergency jump starter. I chose the latter for now - we'll see how my fridge and how (hopefully not) the jump starter performs.
To test the fridge I needed to load it, right? After a bit of 110v charging, the fridge was a chilly 35° as hoped... so were my fresh 6 of Your IPAs from Melvin. Sometimes you need to turn from the haze and enjoy a nice West Coast IPA. Not the best from Melvin but better than most stuff out there; 'cause its Melvin.
