Note
A small amount of snow fell overnight in town, but again there was a good bit more up top. Trails were soft and slow. Someone had driven Graham B's car up to the parking lot, probably to make it seem as if Graham was out training, but of course he wasn't actually there.
Coming back on Summit, someone said hi as I was skiing by them, and I realized a few steps later it was Doug B, so I turned around and joined him. If Doug hadn't said hi, I would have kept right on going with no clue it had been him. It turned out his original plan had been to drive up I-70 into the mountains to some ski area (I forget where) but when he checked before leaving, he learned traffic was horrendous, so he drove up to Happy Jack instead.
It really sounds like you don't even need to check traffic on I-70 on the weekends in the winter, and that you can safely assume it is always horrendous, and getting worse. That's probably why people have private jets and stuff. Or else just move up to the mountains and be done with it.
After dropping Doug off at the parking lot, I went back out and ran trails. They were softer than yesterday despite today's traffic on them, but it was still good. When the trails firm up again, it will feel so easy running on them!
