Tenjin didn't manage to open on the weekend but decided to run one of the lifts from 9.30 this morning. As soon as we heard it was a quick change, grab the skis and off to check it out. Haven't skied since mid-October so keen to get back out there.
Apparently there is warm weather on the way so they are not sure if they will keep running so took the chance to ski while we could. Definitely more hikers around than snow enthusiasts and got plenty of funny looks as we walked around with skis and boards.
Only the centre pair lift was open and a total of five people were using it (3 boarders, 1 telemarker and 1 skier) with pedestrians more of an obstacle than each other.
It'll be a while before all our favourite stashes are open for business but it was nice to get a quick slide in.
We also got our point card which is a new system they are trying this year. Collect five stamps and you get next lift ticket for free - shouldn't be too hard.
gd stuff Mike - have been following your blog for bit - must have been great to be out there- can you elaborate a bit more on the stamp system you mention above pls ?- sounds like a recession beater ! - cheers - Tom
ReplyDeleteTenjin Loyalty Card for this system. Each time you ski there you get one stamp. Go 5 times and you get your 6th lift ticket free. Not a bad deal.
