day 38. skiing. sunday river. 1/18.

we got a surprise snowstorm over night. jeremy, the other top shack break guy needed a few days off and they brought back someone from last year to do it. since jeremy always chooses the sides, i chose the outback. i did the south ridge shack on the way up and from spruce took sirius et al over to jordan. the conditions were awesome but the fresh snow made it much more of a workout. after jordan i took kansas to northern lights which was already bumped up. i perservered doggedly through the bumps although i was teetering on the edge of exhaustion. the two consecutive 13 hour days didn't help. i kept almost stopping to rest but deciding what the hell and finishing the turn and moving on. after aurora i took lights out back and just did the next three top shacks without any skiing at all. then it was down escapade to broadway and in. i was beat. that night i became sore as hell. the next day i was going to have to go the bank on my lunchbreak anyway, but i was ready for a day off snow.
