Day 8: Still no significant snow.
Sunday, November 18th, 2007A-Basin is opening up a few more areas slowly - very slowly. Today I noticed the bunny hill open, complete with the magic carpet lift. Thus, I’ve started sending out invites to anyone who wants to learn. I’d rather be teaching people to learn now, before the big snow comes.
It was an otherwise uneventful day on the mountain. It got crowded fast, so I didn’t stay real long. I did notice folks camping out in the parking lot with comfy chairs, coolers of beer, and grills. Of the 4 times I’ve been up to A-Basin, only once was I able to get someone to go with me. Everyone talks about wanting to ride; but very few people are willing to actually get up and go this early in the season. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to get me a little posse together, or at least a compadre.
Speaking of a posse, a friend sent me a link to Ski Carpool. Unfortunately, the site barfed up an error when I registered; however, I’m looking forward to checking it out.
