Leftover steak, potatoes, and onions for breakfast. Fried in the same greasy pan used last night.
Thank goodness for HDR
Back to The Base
An optimistic 9:30am gondola ride up is stifled by wrong ski polls. 🤦
Use stickers, marker, paint, or tape to customize your gear. We can't all be using the same grayish/black/blue/white. It's CONFUSING
Ski poll delivery (thanks Steve) and another ride up the gondola.
"I heard a gondola broke and fell off at that resort"

Comforting words on our ride up
I Spy
Many texts and calls back and forth, attempting to coordinate a meet up. An incredible eye from Steve and Mary from the chair.
"Meet us at 4 Point Lodge!"
- they yelled from the chair
Gearing up after the break reveals an unfortunate situation. These bindings have seen better days.
chairlift confessions
Another chairlift mate (local resident originally from Chicago) Tells a morbid story of an unfortunate skiers being taken by the mountain. Why do we continue to ride? A question I cannot answer.
The sun playfully dances with the clouds. Bright light + overcast makes for intense snow blind conditions. The ground looking like one big blob of white.
just feel the vibe. Just go with the flow man
Victory Road
Scarlet red chairs line the long hand rail. The Stars align, the gang is all here.
A quick glance at the rack 🙄
1 shot, 1 beer
A well deserved rest back at the condo. A bit of stretching, a bit of boob tube.
Matt (Mr. Stormwatch) breaks the news.
We're leaving for home this evening.

Not exactly the news you want to hear midway through a Pacifico 😒
During the pack a discovery is made. A rouge Heath Klondike bar tucked away in the freezer. Will snags it for the pity party trip back home.
gas and taco
Taco johns in Sydney, Nebraska
Overnight in our old stomping grounds North Platte, NE. Arriving at 1:00am means we didn't get to enjoy the night life. Ba-hum-bug
