High Expectations
Skyport to Bailard

Everybody knows what happens when you set your expectations too high...

It didn't pan out as we had hoped but it was still fun.  Max CB was around 4200 and it got very dark down range.  I was a little early going through the pass and I started wrestling with some NE after Noon Peak.  Couldn't get high enough at West Divide to justify the jump to Whiteledge with the slight NE component, too much sink.  Plus, the lift was getting really rowdy the further East I went.  Rather than wait for the West to push through I bugged out and had a nice glide out to the hot dog stand, joined Meyer and headed to Bates to watch the follies.

Those of you that had to work today can sleep soundly tonight knowing that you really didn't miss much today.
