representing Trancefamly SF as always :)
shuttles were well organized overall
Show starts early-ish at 17:00, due to 02:00 curfew, lots of sun :)
it was cold, not sure how people came wearing almost nothing :)
some tried harder than others :)
roads were already nice and white on the way up
thankful to have underground parking for the duration of my trip
another impressive wall of snow
lots of snow, the top of cornice had some almost invisible real cornices like that, I fell down from that one
school run was a rounding error
it was still a bit too warm and wet
by the end of the day, things looked good though :)
Kirkwood has a real problem with electric charging, this is the only charger left on the entire property
notice the huge pile of storage snow by the parking lots
got one of the first few chairs up the wall. Wee!
interestingly, the top of the chutes by the wall were bare due to wind blowing the snow away
this is the one time I had to unbind that day :)
Another picture of the storage snow pile in the parking lot
pretty big cornice by the wave
it was a bit of a jump into snow that wasn't exactly a pillow underneath :)
I got down, but it was a bit scary :)
snow as wind packed at the top, deeper lower down
the wall had so much snow that they gated you to come down before the chairs, the regular ramp that went under, didn't fit anymore
weather and visibility improved during the day, so much snow
I literally managed to snowboard all the way back to the building parking lot across the street :)
got to the gate for the first run
eventually we got to below the snow line and had to walk a bit
then there was a bit of snow left to finish up
and VIP was an even longer walk, but signage was good
we stayed front row as long as we could (the crowds got a bit out of hand after a while)
Reflexion, aka mainstage, was big but the visuals were ok without being great
as expected, not a lot of people dressed up outside of ourselves, that's how EU festivals usually are
but we did our best to bring smiles :)
would have loved to see Xiaro Pitch, but conflicts made that not possible
would also have liked to see all these sets, only saw 2
wasn't able to see any of these
the stages sometimes a bit confusing to find, but signage helped
found one person with an LED outfit, mine was supposed to say because I'm not hipster enough for techno
unexpectedly ran into my friend Aryel for ust a few seconds before she disappeared again :)
and just like that, 06:00 happened and the night was over, time to run to the airport to get our flight back to SFO
what a surprise to run into this
Armin likely hadn't played in such a small room in a while :)
we forgot to come back at the end to see if there was anything in the bin :)
easy train ride from Amsterdam
Hotel Grand Karel was nice, although pricey :)
