Nothing beats a journey through the "Snorkel Door." I am so happy that it is East Wall Season. Today, Kay and I hiked to the top of Little Lenawee and a little further. After a fun run down North Pole, we climbed to the top of the Willie's Wide staircase, paying homage at Borgy Rock along the way. Smiling from ear to ear, we slipped through the Snorkel Door. Looking down Snorkel Nose, we were tempted, but we took the extra five minutes to side step to the top of Booger. And it was worth it. Beautiful skiing all the way down.
There is nothing fun about the Willie's hike, but it delivers in a way that you can't find anywhere else. For me this is the pinnacle of all A-Basin experiences.
