A-Basin


The wife's been able to hit up the white stuff a few times this year, but until last week I had yet to do the same secondary to 3rd year schedule craziness. The fact that the Basin has had less snow than Vancouver "looks like it's summer aside from the patches of machine-made snow" lately hasn't helped things. However, I got President's Day off (hallelujah!) and there was a coincidental 2-day 8-inch A Basin snow accumulation over the preceding weekend so we took the chance to ski together for the first time this year. Remarkably, we managed to get up early enough to get a prime parking spot in view of the lifts, spent about 5-6 hours on the slopes, then got back to town ahead of the worst of the I-70 traffic. Good times.
