Liz was awarded part-timer of the year at this year's end of the year patrol banquet. The Golden Spool as it's called is an honor and I'm very proud of her - you should be too!
The season ended on Sunday with a glorious Spring day filled with debauchery and some great skiing. We spent the day on Monday taking the mountain down - which was fun to have the entire mountain to ourselves as we took down all the ropes and dismantled the ski area for the summer.
We're off to the patrol pig roast this afternoon.
The second picture is of the King and Queen of Flauschink (the king happened to be a patroller this year) - Flauschink is a crazy little festival that the people in Crested Butte have created to "flush" out winter and bring in spring - hence the "scepters" that look curiously like plungers. The last week of the season the king and queen parade around town and on the mountain - they held court on the peak for a long time Sunday before going to Flauschink hill (a spot on the ski area that sits in the sun above the ice bar) where there is much merry making. It was fun - it's a great way to end the season. The woman in the picture is Stacie (Liz's co-worker and good friend at the Clinic in town).
Hope you all are doing well!
