Earliest season skiing continued on Schoolmarm with surprisingly good conditions over the last couple of days. We had several inches anew to ride each day. Brown and I scored plenty of runs by arriving early, and didn't go lame, by also leaving early for ORB or elsewhere. Yeah, it's just Schoolmarm thus far but the lesser inclines, yet decent speeds over good distances, allowed us to get some legs under us. Steve and I got about 50Kft of vert over several early season mornings at Keystone (and Steve added more while I fished) - November runs typically bode well for a season for me and with a knee holding up, it's even better. Keystone's wide runs allowed us to spread out and take different lines on each run down the mountain. On the last day we started taking Montezuma a bit more with Summit crowding, and the softer seating there. The one downside with the new season is the lack of edit-ability on the EpicMix lift tracking. The app is all new and there's no website access any more; further, the app doesn't discretely list the lifts taken. My tracking was lower than Steve's by a number of lifts but I can't true it up anymore. Small issue but feature deprecation from prior EpicMix.
That was day #2 and now day #3, Steve's always got new outfits, what a fashion maven. Me, I've got one (very good) look.It's actually starting to look like real winter up in Summit. Woohoo.
