Last Run 08/09

The Romans and Avocados got us on the lift this afternoon at the Bowl. The season was extended one week due to late season snowfall and a great base. The place was hopping this Easter Sunday afternoon for sure and most attendees were wearing clown suits and wigs. Although quite a few were in shorts or swim suits as well. There were also a few fireworks going off. It was a great season up there this year! The three new runs are nice as well. Soon, it will be quiet weeknight rides to Point 6. It might be quite a while though!Our friend Neil and a colleague got the last toboggan detail of the year at around 4:00. We caught up with him just below Angel Face. She (the injured) was laughing and gave us a thumbs up. The Last Run crowd gave a cheer when they passed by to the lower patrol shack!

I love the news pics of Big Sky with the skiers trying to make it across the icy pool of water. Though the lifts are closing, the backcountry is really good this year, and helped by today's new dump.

Eco,

I caught that on the news as well (Big Sky fun). Reminded me of Saucerboy (S. McConkey) doing it on fatties with a bottle of Jim Beam in one of his hands in one of his movies. ~
