Were these my last runs of 20/21 ski season? I don't know for sure but despite 2-4 inches of fresh, recent prior high temps and a more recent chill and storm made some runs treacherous. What a dichotomy - if the cat had groomed, it was nice; without a grooming, mostly hidden ice under the dust made everything sketchy. I perhaps was a bit wide in my ski choice today at 120mm as I either didn't have sharp enough edges or didn't turn them over far enough as I did slip out several times. I wasn't really slow while I was at Keystone, which will close this weekend, and down mountain opportunities won't allow me to close it so today may be it for this Summit fun zone. And, while there's a great inbound storm next week - I plan to fish prime time hard on the Front Range tailwaters then and may miss skiing. Sure, Breck is open till late May but I'm unsure of likely conditions at this lower spot. Today in overcast conditions I did switch to red chroma-pop lenses recently acquired on eBay from a Phenom abandoneer - awesome. And, I hereby continue to laud the fit and performance of the Solomon S/Max 100s - superb.
