WY Skiing At Last

Cindi got over her cold today and we set off for Snowy Range Ski Area 30 mi. west of Laramie. We had snow showers most of the day so the pics are pretty dull, but in person the scenery was pretty good. Snowy range is definitely a local place. It is small (by Western standards),only has 3 lifts, with only 2 running when we were there and almost no black runs. But overall, it was probably twice the size of Wintergreen or Massanutten and there were no lines at all on Friday.



Hey, that's me; and it's snowing!








A look across the valley.









A little to the left of the far mountain and thirty miles away is Laramie.





We went into the lodge for a break after a couple of hours and met Tiffany and her son Liam who had just moved to Cheyenne from Roanoke. Small world!

Later in the afternoon, I got to the lift and waited and waited and waited for Cindi, but she never showed. After sending one of the employees out on a snowmobile to find her, she finally showed-up. She had gone down the far side of the mountain to the second lift, which had not been open earlier. I need to give her a GPS transponder so I can keep track of where she goes.

For the last hour Cindi finally dragged-out the board and played on the bunny slope. She's OK on heel-side, but we need to get her something a little bigger to finally get her on toe-edge. Maybe MT.





First time on a magic carpet. It's OK but really slow.








She's look'n good heel-side.









Toe-side needs a wee-bit of work.
