It also left a dusty exclamation point to the end of the regular season on “Pandemonium.” The echoes of Ralph Dinosaur have faded as I watch some friends making their way through the eerily quiet plaza. She, wearing colors reminiscent of an ’80s Madonna video, in honor of gaper day, with a large Christmas bow pinned to her chest, perhaps to remind her of all the smiles, laughs and joy gifted to her by our awesome little ski area. I’m really grateful for another awesome, if always too-short season. Peace.
