The morning report announced another foot of freshies, and had it been 15 degrees still, it would have been two feet... But the much warmer temps made for heavier snow and slower going but it was still fresh, something we hadn't seen in 3 weeks, and it was a gloriously stormy powderday out there on Mt Werner.
The boys loaded the Gondola early, and hit Cyclone-DropOut while Georgie and I made our way up to Pony in a line of a thousand powderhounds. One run down that usually untouched part of the mountain made me realize this wasn't the normal powder day for playing the flatter trees. I got sucked into the gully next to Bar-U-E, and climbed 50 yards up and out. Breathless, not laughing, and ready for a real run, we headed right over to Dropout again on a mission for steeper terrain.
Words are lost on days and weeks like this one - 40-plus inches in 3 days so far and more is still coming down. So here's the video from today... as I'm too weary to keep writing! We sure are loving the GoPro, it's saving my hands, and making for some great faceshot capturing!
See you In the Deep people! What a FUN week!! Snow Gods, send more anytime!
