Opening day. Ergo, it’s officially summer.

And what a perfect day to commence Schweitzer’s summer season. Sunshine, a light breeze out of the southwest (??) and blood curdling (joyous, bungee trampoline induced) screams outside our office window. Ahhhh. I do love the quirks that define summer at Schweitzer.

Free lift rides all day tomorrow if you haven’t heard. Consider this your courtesy heads up. If lift rides aren’t your thing, we’ll also have a bbq, beer and live music in the Village. And that’s everyone’s thing. Enjoy a few photos from opening day below…

Pucci's Pub served as the starting point for a 15 (or so) mile cruiser bike pub crawl.

An Epic Ride

The other day I was taking a nice ride on my bike after work, but hopes of having a nice ride vanished with a load crack. As the rain fell the “this sucks” attitude seemed to creep up on me. The harder it rained and the louder the thunder became the more I seemed to enjoyed the ride. I am not sure whether it was the rain, the thunder, or the combination that rattled my existence, but it was truly an epic ride. When I returned to my truck I was soaked and it did suck then, but what is a truly epic moment worth?

Dear Faithful Blog Readers,

Oh how the off season can be trying. I realize my posts have been few and far between these days. The good news is that summer officially kicks off up here in one week (Friday the 26th!) Then, again, there will be life, recreation and fun on the mountain. Between chairlift hot laps over lunch hour, a bungee trampoline located directly adjacent to our office, a handful of stealthy marmots, donkey balls, hiking, biking, digglering, beer on tap at the summit, and a slough of other amusing activities, there will surely be plenty to write about. Please stay tuned as I devise outlandish and only sometimes Schweitzer related stories to share with you. See you on Saturday the 27th for Summer Celebration? Hope so. If you mention this blog post, I might even treat you to a beer. A coupon if you will.

Sincerely,
Tara
