At Mt. Baldy anyone can challenge a ski patrol. Pick Stevely, win 0, lose all by fall
Detours. Unplanned changes. A wrong turn. A missed appointment. Being stood up. Not what you expect. Dis-appointments. It not the same. All are actions to have re-actions. Is the weather ever one of the above? Such as “bad weather?’. What is bad weather? A hurricane force wind that carves sandstone canyon walls to a razor edge beauty? Frozen water of an endless variation of snowflakes falling onto your road ahead? Rain coming down cats and dogs on a picnic being invaded by ants? Perfect is a word that needs to be in a safety deposit box, only to be withdrawn to describe the weather. The eather is always perfect, it is only how we react to it. A detour was to be had by MauiSkiBus, a detour that was knocking on the security door of that safety deposit box.
Pride of their hairless hill, their hill being watched as far away as Europe, a hill with love from the ones that glide down these slopes year after year. For what two days will cost some, a year can be had here, on the the bald slopes of this mountain hill. Arriving un-announced, MauiSkiBus did a greeting with Aloha and smiles were to be seen by these skiers, these nutty ones driving up to the mountain of bald.
Matt, GM of the Bald Mountain, made sure MauiSkiBus was treated as a diplomat with a premier parking spot. Ski patrol here were nowhere to be found, at least that is, in their huts. Fun; “I’m gonna beat you”, races were staffed by the patrol, inviting all to partake.
