I had a great last lift ride on Black Mountain Express near closing time today. I shared the chair with a woman that was an A-Basin season pass holder. Of course we wore masks and kept our distance. She and I knew each other a little bit. A couple of things she said really impacted me. First, she thanked the entire staff for how they have handled the COVID era and especially how the team has handled season passes. Second, she emphasized that A-Basin has been her "Normal Place" through COVID. Visiting A-Basin and skiing felt like a very good and very normal experience. It was a very important part of her life right now. She made my day.
Riding Pali 2.0 this afternoon.
