Day 1...simply awesome!

I didn't plan on Skiing today but when I looked at the Collingwood Weather and it said heavy snow fall I just couldn't help myself!   The normal 40 minute drive took and hour.  Tried to park at the top but the lot was drifted in so I tobogganed the car to the bottom of the hill parking at the Hotel Parking Lot.  Got stuck parking but I knew it would be hard to get a push later so off I went....


Ravena

























After picking up my pass I did 2 runs in Happy Valley ...  had a bit of a tough go of it adjusting to nearly a foot of snow!!!!     After I got my legs under me I headed down Legacy heading down The Village way making a dive for the Silver Bullet.   Legacy had allot of icy brown snow from some very aggressive base building efforts.   I have never seen so much snow on Smart Alex it was skied enough that giant moguls of powder were forming and there were some pretty good lines to follow.   Found some untouched powder on the South side of Tranquility and finally found my powered legs.  After an uneventful trip down Memory Lane I had my best Pow Run of the day down Rinus Run finding a large swath of untouched powder.
L Hill was sooooo tempting but I didn't as it was taped off....






















When I was all done I found a couple of young fellow to push me out .... no problem as expected.   Returned the favor helping them out ... just about everyone was stuck.  Followed a plow all the way from the Village back to Ravena.  Didn't mind cause it sure made the drive allot easier!



See the plow
