IN THE DEEP

The glorious day we've been awaiting has arrived. Starting out with an empty Gondy maze and 8 inches new or more to play in, we made our way to Four Points for first chair. It was blowing sideways at the top though, visibility was nil, and the temp felt surprisingly colder than 14° to all of us.

The snow was a little heavy, but buttery, up to my knees in spots where the fierce overnight winds had blown in drifts, and still shin deep everywhere else. First tracks down Keith's Ridge, Moonlight and Fawn were the best of day, Storm and Daze were blown off down to the hardpack and the peak was invisible in the fog, so we finished off with some lower mountain favorites like Concentration [images], lovely knee deep soft pow stashes all along the right side of that one!



Thankfully it kept snowing all day, so tomorrow promises to be even better... albeit colder. And snow's forecast for several more days- it looks like Mother Nature is cranking up the machine, finally, in preparation for the 97th Winter Carnival next week! So we'll likely be posting more... whew, I know this local's glad winters back!

-See you in the deep!
