Spring conditions! Flat light! Weird snow! Weather pushed our arrival time out past midnight. It's hard to get up and ski when you went to bed at 1am. We mostly skied Morningside (Huevos is surprisingly steep, albeit short), plus a run on Three O'Clock and its trees, and a fun chowder bump run on Sunnyside (the Gypsies would have loved that run). We liked The Ridge and plan to head back there tomorrow. Somewhat steep with widely spaced trees. Gondola Joe's at the mountain will make their breakfast sandwiches with gluten free bread! We had a late lunch at the Rusted Porch, which labels GF food, although they put bread on my spinach salad (I didn't specifically mention I wanted GF). The salad was great. The margarita was great. The garlic fries were overkill. 6 hours later, I am still trying to wash the taste of raw garlic out of my mouth.
