2004 - Baldface

Stayed at: Baldface Lodge

Conditions:

Day 1 - Fresh Lines & Sunny. They'd gotten a foot the prior week.
Day 2 - 3 inches overnight, Fresh Lines & Sunny morning - then snow began.
Day 3 - Fresh lines - snowed all day.
Day 4 - Fresh lines - snowed all day.

If you want a guarantee of great skiing, this is the place to go. Take your favorite western ski resort and expand it by a factor of ten (they have 36,000 acres). Then build an ultra cool lodge at the top of the mountain (accessable only by helicopter) and invite 24 skiers at a time. Be sure to locate it in a place that gets constant snow. This is baldface. You'll be skiing fresh lines ("either side of my tracks") to the guide at the bottom, and you (probably) won't get lost as you'll hear his "eh-oh" calls. Then get picked up in the cat for another run, just like the first. Check it out at www.baldface.net. This year's trip was going to be a one timer to celebrate our 40th birthdays, but after our experience, as Arnold says - We'll be back...
