Day 5 - The Long Shift

A short post tonight as I worked until 9:30 and have to be up at 5:00 AM to be back on the hill by 7:00AM. A beautiful sunny day and as I get on the bus my trusty sunglasses decide to fall apart. Murphy's Law I guess.

More of the same today, showed up for an afternoon practice session. Missed out having to chop the landing as I got borrowed with a few other guys to clean up the media corral so the snowcat could bring in more snow to cover up the hay bales they are using as a base. Moved some fencing around then carted some crash pads over to the logistics area.

Men practiced first today at 4:30PM and the landing zone took a beating as the snow is not holding together as well due to the warmer weather. The ladies were up at 7:00 PM and it was the same issue. Moving lots of snow to fill the holes left where they landed. Noted that the women are hitting the big triple jump this year and getting almost the same air as the men are. We were sent home a little early as we will be back first thing in the morning for another practice day. Off to sleep now...
