Sunday Week 17

The forecast had been good for the weekend, so I woke up early and drove down to Crystal ski resort. The rain on the freeway didn't bode well, and it continued all the way up to the resort where the fog had also set in. Like everyone else there I knew the weather was aweful, but having made the journey decided to grin and bare it. There had been 2 inches of snow on Saturday, but the rain made it really sticky and slow. Worse still, I had to stop every couple of minutes to wipe the rain off my goggles. To top off a wonderful day, I got stuck on a chairlift for an hour when they had a "technical problem". Lucky friendly Americans make for interesting conversation.

This took me to about 1400, when I decided to call it a day. The resort compensated everyone on the chairlift half their lift pass costs, so it wasn't all bad
