Last day at Big White.

Yep this was it. From memory I think we got a bit of snow again but the vis was clear this morning, almost blue skies.

Penny decided to take the morning off again and Bruces ankle had turned out to be a minor sprain so I headed out to Gem Lake with Dean, Michelle and a rejuvenated Lester! We decided to take a run down Falcon before heading down the Blue Sapphire again and it turned out to be the right choice. We got mainly untracked snow ghost runs which turned out to be so good we did it a bunch more times! Good times.

By the time we decided to head over to Gem Lake the Blue Sapphire had lost all its shine. I suppose the clear day and new snow had brought out a few locals to track the place out a bit too!

I think we ended out taking Kalinas down the whole way today. We ended out coming down the right hand side of the lift and it was much less bumpy. A good run though.

I headed back after that so I could ski with Penny for the last afternoon. Everyone else stayed on for another run. We were probably all going to hit black forest in the arvo anyway.

The skiing in the arvo turned out to be a bust. Maybe it was my slightly tired legs. It was probably a combination of that and the runs having a few "new snow" bumps on them. When you technique is as shaky as mine it doesn't take much to throw it.

We took a few runs down Millies with Jarrod and Melissa who were on snowboards but I was over it pretty quick! So Penny, Melissa and I decided to take a run down to Happy Valley and Jarrod was going to try and find Dean and the others.

So that was it. Back to the room to start packing.

It was Pennys birthday dinner tonight so we headed back to the Copper Kettle again. Once again the food was great and once again I was too full to have a proper desert! (also once again the bill was huge!) A good meal though. A few good byes and back to the house for more Jerry Springer....
