We got a bunch of snow from the storm yesterday, but it was surprisingly wind-packed and heavy, almost to the point of feeling like crust.

We went to Lookout first thing but got sandbagged because no new terrain has been opened yet—Patrol still only have Washoe and Martis open. I was pining for Stampede to open, but they kept it closed because the runouts are still pretty thin.

These powder days make for long days on swing shift: get up at 5:30 to blow the driveway, get to the hill by 8:00, ski until 12:30, try to take a nap somewhere, work until 11:30 dealing with all the holiday mayhem, get home after midnight, do it again tomorrow.
