Day 75 - UGH! lift lines

22cm overnight meant we were awake at 5:45am, out the door by 6:30am, and standing in line at Base II by 7:15am.  It was snowing heavily that early in the morning and the hour wait for the gondola to open seemed to take forever.  It was well worth it though as we were the second gondola up and had two runs of fresh lines all before 9:00am.

The winds were whipping and visibility was next to nothing at the higher elevations all day.  Only Solar Coaster and Jersey Cream had opened before noon so lift lines were long (and painful).  The snow was nice, definitely lighter than expected.  The gladed runs were super soft and mostly untouched.  Hit every chair on Blackcomb except for 7th Heaven.  Snow base is currently 281cm.
