Three generation ski day.

Reward
Evergreen
Stein's Way
Perseverance
Birdseye

Post break: Three generation skiing.

Grrrr and his Dad: 2x laps on double black diamond Centennial Trees, among others. Bishop temporizes. Meets 'em at Lady Morgan lift base. Takes the easy way down. One of the best feelings of a grandpa: seeing your progeny being better than you.

Above: (40) Bishop's Office. Empire Lodge. Deer Valley. 03 February 2020.
AM break. Bishop's Office. Very cold, gusty, blowing snow, flat light. Unseen, wind blown powder berms on the ski runs. Challenging outdoor experience. Self esteem booster knowing that I'm out fighting the elements. Avoided the long vertical steeps. — at Empire Lodge.

Bishop's Office. What a difference a day makes! 5 degrees. Bullet proof snow. No wind.

Post break: Webster, Dakota, Orion (2x), Silver Buck, Navigator/Deer Hollow, Silver Hill, Gnat's Eye/Little Stick. — at Empire Lodge.
