A-Basin

 We're hoping for snow-any snow and we pick A-Basin because...it's close by, funky, "cheap", fantastic scenery, no lift lines and so forth.  
Snow, not a big selling point right now.
Snow depth:  33"
New snow last 3 days:  7"  (that would be 20% of total snow fall)
Terrain open:  32%

Shane--ready for the big day, wearing his rock climbing helmet.
 

It's snowing!  And, there is even a skier getting on the lift!

Lift ride into the void.  Empty chairs but there is an actual skier on the slope.

Chilly, breezy and semi-white out--more skis than skiers.

The real reason we like resort skiing.



My attempt at an action photo.
Mid afternoon and it starts to clear...empty chair, empty slope.

The way home--over Loveland Pass





Looking back from Loveland Pass.  Top of the lift is the dark rectangle on the far right of the ridge.
The rest of the story, but only 1/2 true--no ice.

  1. Sounds to me like you and Shane should spend some extra days in Big Sky. We had a surprise foot of powder this morning and we'll order up more for you. Love you!
