Day 12 - "Ski Saturday" with Arlen


Fun day with Arlen, skiing every thing Alpine had to offer.
I forgot the battery for my camera today, therefore no pix from the hill.

Alpine was the area with the least wind, and still it blew so hard that snow devils were whirling and picking up snow all around us and we got hit by walls of "blizzard like" blasts of snow and wind! We skied it until they turned us away due to the increasing winds that had disabled at least one chairlift. A tree snapped and fell towards the Powder Park lift and luckily fell below it instead of hitting anyone. The hill finally was shut down at around 3:00 due to the winds just howling from the east north east. When we returned our rental equipment to the Round House, they were dark and without power due to the winds taking out some other trees.
Great skiing Arlen, you ski so strong,
Black Diamonds, here you come!
