Chair 11 opens!!!!

Saturday, December 15th, 2012

More terrain opens Friday 14th at Vail.

Jacquie and I had fresh tracks on Prima Friday afternoon. Chair 11 opened with Riva Ridge, Prima, Pronto, Northstar, Northwoods, South rim, North rim and Gandy Dancer (watch for the rollers). Its fast and fun right now. Vail only recorded 2″ from the storm last night but over cast skies and flurries are looking promising today. I will be headed out this afternoon for some turns with our guest if anyone is on the hill and wants to join me. I suggest a ski with some width. Have fun and enjoy the GREAT snow!

Big snow in Vail

Thursday, December 13th, 2012

The snow fell hard Saturday and Monday night. Vail measured a foot of snow that we desperately needed to open terrain. Vail is working around the clock to get more terrain open daily. Tuesday Janet and I ventured out not expecting much, but were pleasantly surprised. We made our way up chair 8 and were cruising along the cat-walk just in time to get fresh tracks on lower ledges. Half way down we both stopped and giggled. “This is AMAZING, I wish I had my powder skis.” We made our way to the new Gondola, at the top we were shocked to see both chair 3 and 4 open. We rushed over to chair 4 and eyed up the open terrain, changing our minds 3 times with what to ski, we opted for power line and continued laps on Zot, Hunky Dory, Cappuccino, Espresso, Whistle Pig, Swings-ville, South look ma, and chair 4 Cliff area (cliff are not open). I was exhausted by 2:00 and need to save energy for the gym. I hopped on chair 3 and rode the ridge to find Lodgepole, Berries, Avanti, Pickaroon and Columbine were all open, I took my favorite run, ledges, all the way down. What a great day. I am so excited to ski this season. Thank you snow gods for this storm and more storms to come.
