It was opening day at the Bird today so we decided to head up and catch some turns. I went up with Cole (my brother) and Kai. We left early for a resort day, but what seemed like late for a ski day with as early as we have been going lately. We listened to David Gray - Life in Slow Motion on the way up. I haven't listened to him in a long time. It was a good reminder of how much I like him. We got there early enough so I could try to get my employee pass to ski that day, but Snowbird wouldn't give it to me. They said they were not giving employee passes today or tomorrow. I had to come back some other time to get it. So I bought a half day pass and we went out to the hill. We had a good time. It was fun to get our turns dialed in a little more since we were able to make so many of them. The snowpack totally sucked. The top of Emma was horrible seeing how there were a ton of people on it each time you came down and it was all hard as ice. But we still had fun. This is Cole's first year with a ski pass so he is pretty stoked. He got all his gear for C
hristmas (a little early) this year - I have tried my best to get him on tele gear, but that just may be another season or two before he figures it out. I ran into a few people I knew up there including my boss from the Aerie (at which I will be working on call over the season). My pass ran out at 1 o'clock. We were tired by then anyway. We listened to Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy as we descended and made our way to Lone Star Taqueria on the way out. It was a fun day, but I can't wait for a little more snow to get back out and do some major touring.
