I have just returned from another Heavenly ski trip. Now that I’ve been up there more than 6 times the season pass has paid for itself. That is good news. The bad news is that the runs were jam packed with people over the 3 day weekend (since some companies observe MLK day in the US) and many of them were inconsiderate weasels.
In the course of two days I was fully run over by a snowboarder who just said “sorry dude” after tackling me to the ground in a semi yard sale bending my right thumb all out of sorts. Later I would find he severely cut into my skis. That evening I awoke at 1:30am to find the upstairs neighbors rocking out, and after confronting them I again got a “sorry dude” while they continued their noisy gathering until well into 3:00am. At a little after 5:30am one of the cabin mates got up and started making coffee, giving me a grand total of about 2 hours of sleep.
I really need to take a vacation from vacations, I think.
