Day 105 | Castle

It was girls only for Saturday Club.  Jaden is still in Hawaii but both girls have returned from their holidays.  The morning started off quickly with a warm up down Ptarmigan, which was the run of the day.  The sun was shining and there was about 5cm of snow overnight which made for a nice cover layer over the corduroy.  I was glad we got a run in early as the conditions were amazing with fresh tracks to be found.  I haven't been in the Alpine for almost a week and I had no idea what to expect but the snow was really nice.  The clear skies and sun made for a beautiful morning.

After a quick stop at the CLC for a drink and some fruit, we managed to squeeze in two more runs before lunch:  one down Tokem and one run through Marmot Trees to the lift line.  Tokem wasn't so fun but Marmot Trees down the gondola line was nice soft snow and quite fun.

After a long lunch we headed over to Blackcomb.  Conditions had turned from soft packed to wet.  Not slushy but wet.  The girls wanted to go to the castle and since I had never been, that's where we headed.  Again the sun was shining and the temps were warm.  Such a beautiful day.  We spent an hour at the castle.  The girls weren't itching to ride as they like to socialize together.  And because it was so nice, I wasn't itching to leave the sun.

We made it back to the village through the lower level Spring slush in time to finish the day exactly at 3pm.  Next week is the last week of Club and the work season itself is quickly coming to an end.
