PCMR

We started at the Canyons (where the 'dola was broke), but wanted to ski with Saurer in Jupe.  By the time we traversed from the Orange Bubble to Timberline to Iron Mountain to Quicksilver to Silverload, the day was getting on.  We hustled down to Thanes, out the access road, and up the Jupiter chair, but by the time we got there he was gone.  They both were:  Kristi had been with him all morning, but they were headed out to west Scotts and we didn't catch them there.  I talked to Mark on the phone, but by then Kristi had gone home and he was at the summit.  Dammit.  In the end we got a single lap on Crescent (above) but then it was time for us to begin the reverse traverse, starting with Quicksilver.  Through it all there wasn't as much skiing as we could have liked, but Benson did put on a clinic in the deep crud at Scotts, skiing well despite the many hours of travel.

  1. Spend a day at Park City, and the ski bum lingo really starts to come out. (Unfortunate that the 'dola was broke, but it's always great to see Benson put on a clinic)! Outstanding pictures!

    1. Yeah, 10-4, Sparky was running fifties in the akia and Benson and I were hanging out with the pards in the romper room, talking about the last time we pulled a Harlan.
