Opening Day

Still here in the UK on opening day for the first time in 12 years. Just so no one misses their opening day fix I have copied below an email from a buddy which says in a few words what I would have taken a long report to say. Normal service will be resumed next week when I get to Fernie although it doesn't sound like I am missing much yet,

Hi Bill

   I thought I would let you know what I saw out there today. I got to the elk chair at 8:45 and the line was only halfway through the maze I think the rain scared everyone away, by the time we got to the top of the elk it was snow and we got fresh cream cheese from top of bear to the Bears den it quit raining by 10:30 , all and all it was a good day with limited skiing. Looking forward to seeing you and lynda when you get here

                    Cheers Brad
