Griz Ridge - Cornice Run Walk

Had an enjoyable kind of "meeting afternoon" today.  In preparation for July 1's Trail Race, Leigh and I went for a bit of a walk up Grizzly Ridge to the top of Pali.  We headed to the West Wall saddle and were headed up the Cornice Run when we were chased off by lightning.  I think about 12 drops of rain fell.  While A-Basin is greening up nicely, as a state Colorado sure could use a few soakers.

Not Much Snow Left

It really is summer up here.  There are just a few small patches of snow left.  On my recents jaunts around the hill I have bumped into both deer and mountain goats.  Very nice.

It's Hot Down There

I know it is hot down there in the big city.  Just got an email from a friend that said it was 106 F in her yard.  OK, right now it is 78 F in the base area at A-Basin.  You guys need a break and I have the answer.  Come on up July 1 for music, food, drink, and some cool weather.  If you are a runner, do the race.  If you are not a runner come on up and really have fun.
