And here it is, just like that, the beginning of yet another season at The Bird. It was only yesterday that the first football exhibition game was played on the tube, and I thought, it will be tomorrow that we will be standing on the Tram as the season begins, and here it is upon us. With the accumulation over the past weeks, cold temps, plus the snow making efforts, the hill is in fair shape. A significant storm is working the hill right now, which promises to bring a foot or more to add to the pack. The opening day is Thursday, and I expect some limitation of terrain access, but the cover should be good where the hill has been prepared. Care should be taken sporting much off the beaten path, so tread lightly.
The new Wilbre Chair has been tested and was spinning the other day when the breakfast crew met for the celebration of another season. It was great to see all the activity getting the hill ready for the opening bell.
I will be off Planet for the opening Thursday, but will return from the far reaches and be on the hill Sunday. I will be out of internet range of course, so I’ll post again upon my return. Stay Frosty!!!
