4th of July Skiing

Post by Grizzly Adams »

It looks like Snowbasin is lighting up the gondola and throwing a little Independence Day shindig up in the Middle Bowl Cirque. I presume better snow could be found elsewhere, but its doubtful you'd be able to find a better atmosphere. More info here.

I'm gonna be down to move my bro into Salt Lake so if anyone is in the area and wants to meet up, drop me a PM.

Grizzly Adams, sorry we missed you. We made a couple of runs. One on the course and another from the top of the ridge. I did get your message, but not until we got down. I left the phone in the car. :oops:

All in all we had a good time. Did you hear your time? I came down in the first 25 or so racers and they weren't calling out the times at that point.

no worries,

my bro and I got a bit of a late start so it was partly my fault for missing you guys. We ended up running close to last and on the second run, i went for figure 11s and sprayed the announcers... which inadvertently shut off the PA system. I think my first run was somewhere close to 20 seconds. My second run was likely sub 10, but I didnt make it around ne gates, lol.
hope u get a few more turns in before all the snow melts out!
