Day 17 - Thursday Jan. 4 - Patsy Again?

Kai and I went up this morning and knowing that there isn't much snow to be had out there we went somewhere we could bail after the first lap if the snow wasn't any good - thus Patsy Marley. I picked him up at 5:30 and we listened to Live Phish 3 on the way up. Sometimes it just seems like I go too long without listening to some good old fashioned live Phish - thanks for the tip, Crazy. The reading for our rate of ascent came out again to be 10 ft/min. This may be a little skewed since we stopped a couple of times on the way up and I tried to show Kai how to do a kick turn. The morning started off with a litte snow, but not so much that it made the tour miserable. The exercise was good, the company was nice, but the skiing totally sucked. It turns out that if it doesn't snow for a long time the snow isn't as much fun to ski on (who knew?). As we had planned for, we simply made the one run and then made our way back to the car. It was nice to get out this morning. I always enjoy the exercise, but I can't wait for tomorrow when we should have a bit of new snow. Peace out.
