Hi - I attempted to get some evening turns in at the Basin by skinning up at around 6:30 pm this past Monday. Unfortunately, as I secured my bindings, an overly concerned SF cop stopped me because "this was not safe and it is not allowed". I told him that he was a kill-joy and I was Ok without his safety lectures. Then I released the bindings, got in the truck and drove out, as he followed me down to Aspen Vista. I wasn't drinking or smoking and put on my best "academic" vibe! Hmm; is SF Ski Basin cutting back on being cool with people skinning/skiing at night??? Security conditions seemed extreme.
