The bottom of the couloir was a bit runneled and laden with debris. But the top was great! When we got to the bottom of the Bell Chord we enjoyed some nice corn in the apron. We hopped over a few deep runnels in search of better snow, but all in all, it was still fun!
It wasn’t long before we found ourselves back at Maroon Lake, with all the tourists asking us “Did you ski?” “Where did you ski?” “You left at what time???” “You did all this just for one ski run?” “How did you see where you were going in the dark?” “It snowed this morning?”
Sometimes you think the snow will never melt (end of April):
But, somehow, sadly, it usually does.

All in all, it was a great day out. The snow was some of the best snow I’ve skied on all spring! Thanks to Chris, Pam for a fantastic ski. Extra thanks to Frank for motivating all of us. And it was great to meet up with August and Joe on the mountain. Thanks all!
