Perfect Snake turns! On to Collins, Jack asked “how many years sober?” 10! That's a decade whew! Found a spot, made some turns, slowly headed toward snowbird via the small rope tow and some perfect turns down to the ski bus… “Nice tracks” thank you, next stop is the snowbird center and the blue tram…. Seen Lance and Dave F at the elevator…. Subaru winterfest on the plaza… Nice ride up THE BLUE TRAM! and a perfect ride down to little cloud!! Hit the top spot! its on!!!
