Last night i started coming down with a cold...
Wasn't sure how i'd wake up feeling this morning, but i slept in and woke up feeling pretty good.
What better cure for a cold is there than heading up the mountain for some fresh mountain air.
Left the hotel at around 11:30, stopped in town and picked up some new sunnies for Neri that she tried on the other day.
Made it to Sunshine Village about 12 and still got a good parking spot. No crowds here on weekdays.
Only 1cm of new snow over night but weather was much nicer than previous days, a bearable -10 and sunny.
We got on the gondola and got off at the Goat's Eye chair.
Did a few fun runs down there but steered clear of the double blacks as they were still steep icy moguls. Snow was in good shape though, light layer of powder on top of a firm base.
After Goat's eye we did a few more runs on the main mountain, some nice steep sections with surprisingly good snow.
We went in for a late lunch, which was soup for me and a bowl of chilli for neri... somehow this managed to cost us $20.
After lunch more of the same, had a great time cruising around with neri... rode just about every chairlift and everything from green to black runs and some random tree runs thrown in.
We both love this mountain, so much potential if we had some decent snow but still fun to be out there all the same.
Back to the hotel now and neri is trying to call Air Canada to list on our flight to LA. She's been on hold for half an hour now.
Tomorrow we leave early to drive to Calgary, then fly to LA, where we transfer onto our flight to Mammoth Lakes.
This will be our final destination before we start making our way home... can't wait to enjoy the last week in our condo and enjoy some home cooked meals after eating out for 4 weeks straight!
