And a Final Glorious Day of Sun

Today's first order of business is for CJ to call the mountain and add another day to his ski pass. He had a five of six and as of yesterday had decided his old legs couldn't take a sixth day.  The sun changed that.

Crystina and Kim depart at the mid station of the first lift.  CJ slowly works his way across the mountain to the far side of the ski area. This week he's discovered great skiing in the middle of the area and ways to traverse from one side to the other is both directions.

At lunch in only a long sleeved t-shirt, he's wishing he was in  short sleeves.
With a couple of runs still left in him, he calls it a week.  Today Ski Tracks logs 14.6 miles of skiing with a top speed of 40.6 mph, 12,132 feet of vertical 26 degree slope, and a max altitude of 11,363 feet. He didn't need two more runs. There is a house he's skied past a few times this week. This house is probably in the $30M range.
He takes the lift that services their huge terrain park to set up his final run of the day. He manages to get this picture without losing his company phone.
CJ's already driven up the hill and returned his skis and made it to the hot tub by the time Crystina arrives back.  Kim follows in about 20 minutes. Just how well located are we? This is Snowmass Village taken from the balcony outside of our room.

This evening's dinner is rack of lamb and red wine.
