Rick scrubs down Extreme Couloir on Blackcomb

Rick arrived Wednesday night for a short 2 night stay, so he could ski on Thursday. Francine took the day off, and Kevin joined Rick on Blackcomb for a ski day. We woke up to a cloudy day, which meant the snow might stay a little firmer throughout the day. The lifts don't open until 10am (actually 9:45am), so after a leisurely morning, we left to ski around 9:30am. The free parking at Blackcomb Base II, still exists so able to park right near the gondola. The sun came out as we headed up the gondola.  Still plenty of terrain open for so late in the season.  After looking at the mountains, while riding the trails in the valley below, it was nice to get up to the Alpine for a day.
