March 9, Big Sky day 2



We left the condo at 8:34 am to get to the 6-shooter chair.  Our guide was right, as we did not need to be at the chair earlier than 9am, as the only folks at the chair were the Freeride competitors.  Finally, the nice lifty must have felt sorry for us watching everyone else get on the chair, and let us load about 10 minutes before 9am.  Had a sweet groomer back to the base.  We were basically able to avoid the lines today, on a busy Saturday.  It snowed about 2-3 inches overnight, and it skied great.  Temps started the day around 15-20 degrees, so the snow was real light.

About 3 times, we rode the 6-Shooter Express and Lone Tree Quad so we could ski the Single Jack and Double Jack tree runs, as the first group in with fresh snow in the trees.  Next, we made our way over to the Shedhorn chair, which might have had limited run time yesterday.  Had lunch at the Shedhorn Grill (yurt).  Made our way to the Dakota chair for some fun runs in the trees with 4-6 inches of new snow.  As we were making our way back around the mountain towards home on the Duck-Walk getback route, Kev, Jack & Maddie & I dropped off towards the right, and ended up on the cattrack from H*ll (which took forever) to get back to the main village.

Finally rode the 8 seater Ramcharger Express, so we could use the bathrooms at the top.  Sun was out and snow was warming up, but still skied nice.  Made our way to the top of the Challenger chair and skied down Moonlight to our getback to the condo.  Another fun, tiring day.
