Welcome to the DBD, a W4C community board where one can talk about pretty much anything, like…
I had some pictures that wouldn't normally qualify for the DBD by themselves, so I packed them together, deeply discounting them, and moving them today. Name something you got on discount?
Heavenly: went there for first time in like 20~25 years. Big mountain with some nice long runs, and amazing lake views.
But...20-min line at gondola on Fri morn. Shut down due to wind on Sat and Sun, which funnels everyone to CA base tram (1-hour line). After an hour wait in shuttle line to get there in the first place.
To get from place-to-place is a lot of flatness. Can't ski down to village.
All-in-all, way less skiing per hour than we get at (say) Northstar.
Guess have to try out Kirkwood again to get some local variety out of Epic Pass.
Seemed like a lot of folks skiing there were tourists (especially from overseas) who had been swayed by the postcards...

A nice way to bookend 96 years of Bears vs. Bruins baseball. Cal is now 188-187 all-time vs. UCLA, after sweeping the Bruins over the weekend.
