Today was a good day on the slopes. We covered 63.02 miles over the course of the day. Quite a few more than yesterday. Today we spent most of our time on blue runs. I can totally see myself on a blue-black before the end of the week. Particularly if we get some fresh snow (they are saying we might end up with anywhere from 5-12 inches over the next day or so).

For breakfast this morning I had the remainder of the pizza that I had bought last night for supper.

This morning we made our way over the Peak 7 and did all of the runs on Peak 7. Then, we came back to Peak 8 and took 4 o’clock back to the condo for lunch. I had another excellent lunch, and then we hit the slopes for the afternoon. We went to Peak 9 and did several of the blue runs there. Then, we jumped back to Peak 8 and did the loop from near the top (as high as I’ve ever been, anyway) to the midway load on the Peak 8 Superconnect lift. This is a great loop. There is only about 4-5 minutes on the lift, but you get a lot of vertical out of it. Very nice loop. Blues at the top, and greens at the bottom.

Brian’s boot wasn’t fitting quite right and he had a sore spot on his ankle, so he came back to the condo a bit after 3. Bill and myself kept going and ended up coming down Northstar on Peak 8, which is probably the longest steep section that we’ve done this year so far. Then, another loop on the midload and it was time to head to the condo.

Once back at the condo, I enjoyed a steam shower, and now we are just killing time before going to Bubba Gump’s for supper. I might have shrimp. We’ll see.
