It started well anyway. Report said light wind, bluebird 
. Out the window (my favourite weather forecast), it was just the same. Beauty. Down tools and head for Cardies. Somehow managed to get from here to board on snow in under an hour. Got my Cardrona Club Card now so lift pass was only $60.
First run - pretty solid, icy, but with pockets of windblown powder. Thought this was gonna turn into an awesome day. How wrong. Freezing cold turbo gusts of wind blowing every last bit of snow off the mountain leaving sheet ice everywhere. Not good. Whole park closed all day bcos of ice. Lifts still running fine but nobody on them. In fact, I wondered at one point whether I was the only one left as not a single person in sight in Captains Basic (huge are on the far side of the resort) and nobody but me on the lift. Spooky.
Still convinced it was gonna soften up I got my edges done, for all of $2!! That helped, but after some pizza and another couple of FEAR-fueled runs I gave up and headed home. Ah well, still miles better than having to ride something like Milk and Beans!
2-for-1 steak and booze now.
Over and out
