Monday

Hello Baldy Babes,

Our leader Cheryl, guided us down the Black Forest trail today. The fresh snow under our shoes gave us a tranquil experience in the trees, so peaceful.

Returning to the Lodge for lunch, we put on our crazy hats. Thank you Hilary for sharing your collection.

We sang "Happy Birthday" to Marion and Kathy too.

Next week we ride the Eagle Chairlift to the top of the ski area, $10 for the ride if you don't have a pass.

Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces next week.

Take Care, Marian

Dogs

Do you walk your dog, or let them out and hope they do their business in someone else's yard. A medium-ish sized dog has "dumped" in my driveway. Between the truck and the snowblower, on two midweek occasions. I have adjusted one of my cameras to ID the dog next time.

I have a hunch who the larger dog is - the stool would suggest it does not eat a large meal, but gets treats regularly.

Blue Grouse

Blue grouse spotted from the Eagle Chair this afternoon - vicinity of Tower 15. 

Mother Nature Woke Up

Full marks to the groomer operators who kept us in the game during our prolonged sunny spell. Mother Nature delivered teasers for 4 days prior to the weekend, and topped it off with 9cms in 4 hours today.

 

Baldy Longtimers on the Hill

A feel good morning with "old" friends. A hug in the Sugarlump line from James who is here from Taiwan with his wife Vicky. A hug at the top of the Eagle from Marge's granddaughter Emily. (there are a few MacLeods on the hill this weekend.)

Some runs with Ethel's son Lex and Gail. A talk about lifetime skiers. Lex has new gear, and one of his friends couldn't understand why he would spend money on new gear to keep skiing at his age. A Facebook note last week that James' Mom has new gear.

The new snow stuck to the old just fine, the skiing is great. .............and at 2:00pm, it is snowing again.

The snow fence is there for a reason..........

I have a snow fence across the back of my property for a reason. Hazards below include utilities, steep drops, and my truck. I spoke to the last of a group that cut through today. One of them clipped the marker for a sewer clean-out. I haven't been down below yet to see if they clipped another cleanout. With the two weeks of sun, I doubt that there is much coverage over the bank clean-out, and the water shut-offs.

 

Tubing is back tonight

Tubing is back tonight and moving forward until conditions allow us. If you haven't experienced our night skiing your missing out with access to a stellar terrain park, tubing, and beginner skiing. Brush up on skills until 7pm Friday and Saturday nights. Guest services open until 6pm and the bar open until late.

From BMR Facebook. Not sure if that is a BMR drone shot, or one of Rob's.
