Well, well, well… When the waves get too big, no one goes out and no one was going out or up today. I was eagerly waiting for the Go sign, but it never came. The site was saying that inter lodge and straight line travel was the only activity on the hill today with, perhaps, Chickadee chutes opening for a short time. The mountain itself remained closed all day, so I can not speak with any informed information, though I will speculate that it was huge. When The North Shore gets too big the breaks close out, leaving no paddle in access. Since this is the North Shore ” 7 Mile Miracle” of the ski world, I think it fitting to use the same metaphor in this particular instance. Closed Out- condition Black.. These times only happen rarely and this will be one of the legends that we will talk about 10 or so years down the line when we say… ” Oh yeah, remember that cycle in 2010, where you here for that one?”. Or some thing along those lines. Kind of exciting and chilling at the same time. The Sun has been peaking out, here at the Trailer, all day with periods of light snow, and I think of the earlier times when the speculation was that it was over for the year. I never had any doubts, but this exceeds my expectations soundly. I think we will be able to get back up for tomorrow, but check the reports for access. I get my info the same as everyone else, so we are all in it together. See you tomorrow, knowing that it is still untrammeled. Peace Out!!
CLOSED OUT
