And you know what, I wish people who’s seat has not been called yet
for boarding would not crowd and cluster around the head of the line.

No way! Wait to board flight from Kahalui to HNL, on baggage loaders
trailer, a DaKine roller Traveler in the same hideous plaid as mine!
There goes my theory that no one else would have that color!
Kahalui airport after finishing job. Took longer than expected. Don’t
go to first bar, Sammys at airport. Ownership diff, they don’t have
Guiness on tap anymore! Was thinking about that during drive. Instead
go to gate 23, the bar here has it, yay!
Yet another cloudless day, the riding was fun, we scoped out the
resorts, it was a good trip. Plane boarding soon,
Yet another cloudless day. After warming up, taking vitamins, back is
good to ride. Snowbasin limited, but decent. Looks like it will be
excellent when filled in.
I blame Park City. Should have taken that day off. I guess trying to
ride 7 days straight was too optimistic. My back is not good, I’m
doubtful I will be able to ride, on potentially the best day, curses!
PF! What is it about us & hotel fire alarms! Ears ringing from fire
alarm going off at 1:40Am. It’s finally off. Awake now!
& my back is feeling bad now too, not sure if I’ll be able to ride.
Another cloudless blue bird day, even warmer than yesterday. Late
start. Decide to hit Solitude which is in same area as Brighton.
Ticket is full price, kinda hurts since only four lifts running. But
were here in the name of recon. The groomed geland is scrubbed away
hardpack in the steep sections, but there are soft untracked sections.
Hopping the turtle beginner lift takes us over to the other side where
we discover a motherload of soft untracked area! I struggle and get
mean bacl leg burn since my bindings are only one click back of
centered. Take time to move bindings back and we hit the soft stuff a
couple more times.
We are happy. Tomorrow Snow Basin opens with a reported 30″ base. That
is what is on our menu!
No new snow, blue bird day, might as well check out different area.
Arrive Park City, looks dire, more grass than snow. 2 lifts open, “2”
runs open, it’s really only one. $50 “discount” rate. Steeper sections
are scrubbed away concrete pack, where I promptly laid it down and
shot my glasses off my face. This bites! Where the slope eases off it
s not as bad, good for practicing goofy techniques. Park feature are a
bit too big for us & lots of traffic. Nothing to ride off geland,
unless you enjoy riding grass, dirt, & rocks.
In for lunch, hey let’s have a beer. The friggin taps are not hooked up!
Just how much did we pay again?!
