12/22
Going back to Brighton.
Caught 7:30 bus bus was very full at our stop but we were able to get a
seats.We were warned the night before by the afternoon bus driver that there may be delays with the amount of snow caused by the winter storm that came in. However, we did not have any problems getting to the resort.
We skied mostly on Crestline and Snake Express. We had a lot of fresh powder to ski through in the morning and it keep snowing. In going through on Thor we had at least 36 inches of powder to plow through. It was quite an experience but we had good powder skies that helped out immensely. Thor was particularly thick as was run on top of Crestline lift. Lots of fresh tracks on the first runs. As the day went on we had to be careful to choose when to go off of the first tracks and into fresh powder as it was easy to get stuck in the deep powder.
We skied a lot of Scout run from Crest Express lift which was all trees. The first time we went through Scout Saagar went first and had fallen because some people had stopped on the trail. It was very fortunate for us that they did because they had skied to a tree that had fallen across the trail just high enough that you could get your skies underneath and crack your shins against the truck.We dug out of that and remembered to ski deeper into the trees when we skied Scout. Which we must have skied another 10 times throughout the day. We really got excellent practice skiing through trees and deep powder.
We were very beat after so much deep powder skiing. We got to the bus stop at 4:05 but missed the bus. We waited until 4:15 for the next bus. It was snowing very hard and we were covered in snow while we waited. Finally the bus got there and we were fortunate to get a seat. Saagar sat on a flat baggage spot and I found a seat next to the ski rack.We got off at Ski N See to return our rentals. No problem getting everything back.
