While opening day for skiing at Keystone was later than last year (we had to wait over 5 months from out final outing last spring), it was much better. The man-made snow on Schoolmarm was fine; it was mixed with a decent dumper yesterday and temps are cold in the evenings. It was just 12° at 8am headed from Silverthorne over to Keystone! It warmed nicely as the runs required effort and the sun rose in clear skies. While the base was mobbed for opening at 8:30am, we got on the gondola in just 15 min after it started to roll. The snow was corduroy initially but softened with sun and runs. The day in Summit was gorgeous with the trees packed in snow but the sun bright. We bombed 15 miles down Schoolmarm, avoiding traffic, and then rode the gondola back to the bottom (no access all the way down yet). Today with Bro Brown was a gr8 start to the new ski season. Steve brought a present from the best brewery in Minneapolis for me... a couple of crowlers of Dangerous Man Peanut Butter Porter. Yummy.
