While Ice and SVR are chasing pow in Japan, A few of us spent Sunday Funday tearing up the LUV. Crazy crowds, pulled in at 6:25 and was in the back of the second row. Day started sunny and warm, so I kept the base layers to a minimum, and popped my 7% vlt lenses in my goggles, and left the rest in the silver sled. Lots of six checks on my way to ptarmigan. After escaping the initial Kook armada, got in a few on the practice field, then on to Bennetts for a few. FNG, aka J49 was tailgunning me down turtle creek when I managed to find some uber soft, about a 6 on the MES scale, and butt braked to a stop on a rippin' healy. Fun times. Moved on to 6, and aboso****inglutely tore up roulette. Ink, J, and I left some nasty trenches into the lift chicane without any remorse. On our third ride up, someone started playing this:

wind came up, temps started dropping, and I couldn't see shit. I headed to the bottom and pulled the chute, crowds and kooks became overwhelming, and not worth the effort of changing lenses and layers.
Skipped the Rat,and headed down the hill. Cars were parked on 6, it was almost like closing day with all lots full. Crazy.
