Cyclone: Part II

Skier Days: Sara(48), Caroline(22), Susan(25), Charles(37)

Powder Days: Susan(3), Charles(2)

The ski days did not increase today.   Sara and I were up early to start the week and get her ready to go for a 2 day trip to Sugarloaf for Super G camp.   Susan had done a great job of organizing Sara's travel bag and notes on all the rest that needed to be put together.   We were anticipating the bad weather that was predicted, but hoping for a miracle.   When I went to the car to put Sara's skis in I slid down the walk and across the parking lot.  We loaded up the Mini with all of here gear and drove very slowly down to Bethel.

I made a quick stop at the Tune Shop down at South Ridge to ask that they put a 3 deg. angle (that would be the racers bevel :-).  I got back to the condo and got to work.   The icicles were growing longer and longer for a couple of hours until the warm wind came up and blew them all into the snow under the window.  The rain was cascading off the roof like a water fall and the trees were whipping around.   It was a very quiet day on the mountain with only the occasional snow mobile running up and down the trails.  There were few if any skiers riding the lifts today and I was certainly not one of them.

Sara called around 3pm to ask me to bring the tuning box down to her which we had forgotten to bring with us earlier.   I made the quick trip down to town in the deluge and stopped only to take the picture of  "Sundance", which looks a lot more like "Raindance".   The condo repair guys were working on a leak in the roof that was dripping into the hallway outside the door next door.   The water was coming in from a big melting drift that had formed where two sections of the roof join.   They expect to shovel the roof and repair it tomorrow.  That should liven things up a bit.   It is way to quiet around here without any of my girls...

Early night to see if I can finish "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".
