Playin hooky!

So, the last three days have seen a constant snowfall and I could not resist. I dropped the kids off at school and headed up to the Basin. I got in three full runs of "first track" powder (as seen above) and beat the crap out of my body by doing seven top to bottom runs in under 2.5 hours. By the end, the stuff was getting seriously cut up and a bit hard to manage.

The thighs are burned out but my word, what a morning. It was spectactular. All I have to say is that it is good thing it doesn't snow like this every week or my productivity at work would go to hell and a hand basket.

This powder shot was taken from the top of Philpot Ridge looking down toward Dan's.
