Day 21 - high winds shut gondola

When I checked the Ops phone line this morning, it warned of high winds gusting over 100kph and they needed to cancel Fresh Tracks.  Patrol took a while to clear the Ego Bowl area, making it safe from avalanches.  The top half of the Village gondola was closed all day.

Once my two AC kids arrived, we headed up the gondola and took a lap down Olympic Chair.  Conditions were soft packed and I found some nice powder on the sides of the run.  We spent the morning on the lower part of the mountain.  After lunch we ventured up Garbanzo Chair.  The winds had died down and the chair ride was more pleasant than I had anticipated.  Ran down Lower Whiskey Jack and took another lap on Olympic Chair before going off the CLC jump/box and then calling it a day.
