Skiing "The Storm" With Yoho And Alexa & Friends 22Feb22

First off, not only are we displaying palindrome dates from now through end of month but 2/22/22 is the "last" time we'll see an all same digits date ~ so that's cool. Let's talk about "the storm" a bit: a lot was written on the mid-Feb22 happening, and it was a satisfactory 3"-2"-4" kind of sequence, and we liked the improved conditions, but in the northern mtns it was not epic. We arrived on Monday and Jim & I grabbed plenty of runs all over Keystone on Tue... much of the snow was softish. We dined on red beans & rice with Andoullie and had a satisfying hot tub soak under remarkably (and unfortunately) clear skies. This despite my preparing with the right beer selection and paired perfectly with GS Thin Mints.

Jim & I rose Wed to a smidge more snow; we decided to try Breck this day and while this came with a bit more crowding and more wind, it was still good. We made our best runs on Pk 6 and Pk 8, where we crushed some fine snow and lines on Whale's Tail. Surprisingly the first run brought leg cramps, but they subsided. We hit Pure Kitchen on the way home and closed with spa time and tunes on the NestT.

We got a bit more snow early AM on Thu and met Alexa & friends @ the River Run gondy @ Keystone. Lines weren't bad and the snow (after 3 days' cum of 8"-10") was soft. We made good runs through Outbacks trees and bumps and then headed forward. The scare was that in the initial gondola ride I recognized I'd left my phone on the base bench (didn't get a 'connected' sign from my BT helmet) so I had to abandon the team and head down to retrieve my phone; which was luckily still sitting right where I'd left it. Great day with Alexa, Haley, Charles * the parkour kids," and Jim. Thanks all for some nice outings in "the storm."
