Rocking Saturday.

First Image. Buddy Rich and Friday Group. Four numbers at O'Shucks Bar and Grill. Park City, UT. 05 February 2016.

Second Image. Buddy Rich pounds out "Wipeout," first performed by drummer Ron Wilson, of the "Surfaris" in the 1960's. Wipeout" even today, is the yardstick for every aspiring young drummer to solo.

This side doesn't look too bad... but, we're heading into 60 mph winds and blowing snow at the top.

Earlier, I stopped at the lip of Muckers to take a breather, and fell right over after an attack of vertigo. Skiing Muckers wasn't too fun either. Blowing snow, cut up sludge over ice surface.

Raining at the base. But, 4 to 5 inches of wet snow had accumulated above 8,000 feet. With attendance down, I got great first trax snow for a couple of runs on Hidden Splender and one run on Assessment.

I met the guys at the break - Summit House was full with skiers escaping the brutal weather. We skied, Assessment, Carbide, and Mels before Espresso and Mwah (sic) took off to join TIMDT at Windy Ridge (apt name for the ski day today) for lunch.

Took Espresso and Chicago Ducati to Dreamcatcher and Iron Mountain areas to ski. Bluebird after 6 inches of snow fall day before. Nice.

Bluebird. Not too warm. Excellent snow. 10 of 10.

Addendum:

Why is the guy with the sunglasses smiling? Did you pay for his lunch?

What a great group to ski with. So much knowledge and experience with which to rub shoulders.
