After a winter snap that brought 2 feet of new snow over four days last week, spring has come back to wreak havoc on the bottom part of the mountian again. This shot of lower "Bwana" is from the base of Lionshead looking up along the route of the gondola. This run has been closed for more than a week, but it had been looking somewhat winter-like, but is now postively a disaster. It looks like some giant has been wiping his ass on the lower half of the mountain. It's really disgusting.

On the positive side, the snow just a few hundred yards up the mountain is brilliant. And there's nothing finer that skiing on perfect snow when it's 50 degrees with blue skies and few puffy clouds. I spent most of the day skiing Blue Sky Basin wearing one of my "Samoan" shirts. Damn fun.
