Kirkwood - e nao foi a ultima vez...

No final de semana passado fomos esquiar de novo, mas dessa vez fomos pra Kirkwood, um resort aqui na California. Um amigo meu do trabalho sempre vai pra la e decidimos ir com ele. Quando chegamos la eles estavam sem energia eletrica (putz!!!) e nada estava funcionando. Tivemos sorte pois eles usaram o gerador pra fazer 4 telefericos funcionarem (de 12!). Mas nao foi tao ruim assim.... como eles so tinham alguns telefericos funcionando, tivemos 50% de desconto no passe pro dia, ganhamos um passe pra outro dia qualquer e direito a 3 bebidas no bar. hmmmmm... isso eh que eh tratamento!


Last weekend we went skiing again but this time we went to Kirkwood, also in California. A friend from my work goes to Kirkwood all the time so we decided to go with him this weekend. Everything was going wrong... the day before we went to a store here in Sacramento to buy discount tickets for the resort: they were out!! So the next day we went to the resort anyway and when we got there... they were out of power! Great, nothing was working. Somehow they managed to open 4 lifts (out of 12) and we were able to ski. The best part... since they were out of power for a while, they gave us a 50% discount on the lift ticket, a pass for another day (any day!) and 3 free drinks at the bar. That's what I am talking about!!! Good customer service!

Neve na estrada... snowy roads!

O clima estava bom: parcialmente nublado e friozinho (bom porque assim a neve nao derrete) e muita neve - tinha nevado na noite anterior.
The weather was nice: partially sunny, snow, FRESH POWDER!!!
