Katie and I took the day off from skiing on Wednesday for a walk near Northstar in the Martis Creek area. Some snow on the trail but not much. Temperatures were in the high 50’s with blue skies. We ended up back at home in the late afternoon for some slow cooked chili and cornbread. We watched ‘A Hard Days Night’ after dinner which was basically ridiculous.
This am we met Larry and Margie at Alpine Meadows. Our first run was just after 9 and we went through the day finishing after 3. 25 runs in all on groomed and off piste runs. Firm in the am and soft and heavy in the afternoon. We chased good snow most of the day. Summit chair was closed for wind but Larry and I hiked over to the Wolverine side from Alpine Bowl chair for some terrific runs just off Wolverine and on Wolverine. Drinks at Bar of America followed skiing then dinner at Casa Baeza. Plans for tomorrow are skiing with the Banfield’s at Squaw. Big snow predicted for the weekend and beyond but we are out of time.
