Fresh Tracks

Just thought you should know that Sunlight got 13" of fresh powder yesterday. Also, I got fresh tracks through that powder.
I was able to take a short break from work and hit the slopes with a friend. Even though my grooming report showed that many of the trails had been done early that morning, everything was coated in at least 6" of untouched snow. I was only able to get two runs in, but we made sure to ski the East Ridge. Our 52 degree slope is beautiful. Wide open terrain allows you to drop in wherever on the ridge line. Fortunately for my friend and I, we were the first ones to touch that snow. 13" of fluffy powder floated around us as we drifted down the slope.
My powder skiing is, by no means, pretty. It doesn't matter in that much snow though. The powder holds you up and even a quick fall is like leaning into a pillow. I can't wait to find out what it's like when I actually have the right equipment. Someday...
Over the next two days, we're expecting another 10" of snow. I'll make sure to take my camera and actually get pictures of this beautiful fluff. Colorado is the best!

By the way...3 days until the Iditarod!
