The Sun made me do it!

Working mids , woke up after not enough sleep but it was sunny and warm so I decided to hit the slopes.   The air was a few degrees above freezing but the snow was still cold so it made for some pretty good machine groomed powder ...super hard underneath.  Met up with Patrick ,  Carl and his Girlfriend.   Thanks to Patrick I have a few pictures from the evening ....

Blue Thursday!

Working eves,  woke up felt like hitting the slopes so I was alpining away by 11am!    Great conditions,   machine groomed granular.  Did Cruiser then headed over to " The Orchard" and did every run once before hitting Smart Alec/Tranquility then Doug.     Spent just shy of 2 hours on the hill not doing the same run twice.   Came to the conclusion that I really like going down but the the up in the chair ...not so fun!

Wow evening

It was cold and it was windy but it was snowing like crazy making for some stellar conditions at Blue last night!    Once again I experimented around with thinks wearing two layers over the head and neck using my partial balaclava covering the face and nose it worked out pretty good in the -20C temp with 50 km  winds,   Skied mostly Cruiser ,   it was effortless ...tracks were covered up as soon as they were made.  The snow was actually drifting uphill and sticking!     Only hung in there for a couple of hours a little worried about the drive home and it was warranted .  Blue , Banks and Ravena all the way to Beaver Valley was tenuous at best!
