Picto Diary - 17, 18, 19 March 2019 - Deer Valley Moments

Above: (63). Maharaja and LL Cool J. Deer Valley. Homeward Bound. 17 March 2019.

More epic groomed skiing.

2x Magnet.

Nods to Cleveland, Dogs, 'Bird and Suppressant, all greeted at DV today.

Comic Mom and Maharaja bring guests LL Cool J and Jersey Girl to Snow Park breakfast. I link up with the two guys to ski until 10:45 AM break at Empire.

Conversations always substantive, as opposed to superficial, when with Maharaja.

We talked Nicholas Wade's book, "A Troubled Inheritance." I.e. Human evolution is recent, copious and regional.

We talked Martin Meredith's book, "The State of Africa," and bemoaned the ongoing, sorry state of that continent.

My question to full time, male ski patroller on Lady Morgan lift: What is the frequency of your involvement in an unusual task, like say, difficult extraction or death/near death?

Answer: Every ten days

Road cut center left is US 40 heading SE up Daniels Canyon. Five hours up that road in the F350, I could be in Steamboat Springs skiing my IKON Pass. Thinking about it. — at Deer Valley Resort.

9 of 10 bluebird. Some snow crunchiness. It's all good. Every day can't be epic!

Challenging (good way), following intrepid Frotz, down, crunchy Magnet, yesterday groomed.

AM skied Jordanelle to Empire break with Frotz and Montage. Montage broke off at break to go demo some skis at Snow Park.

Snow Park breakfast: The Actuary, Montage, Frotz, Golf, and Golfe. Golf took a call from Bling. Hope Bling gets in touch when he's here. Golf report on Delhi Pajamas is that he's ski instructing his head off at Canyons six days a week. — at Deer Valley Resort.
