We got out late for a nice little powder day. It snowed lightly throughout the day and by the end there was about a foot of snow up top and a few inches at the bottom.

I think this was our first storm day of the season without rain. We were still scraping ice in places, as this was a cold storm with dry snow that didn’t bond with the old hardpack.

The Gotamas have replaced the Rossi B4s as Nancy’s favorite skis in soft snow.

The new snow did a world of good for the groomers. However, skiing in the trees is still sketchy, with logs, stumps and rocks sticking up everywhere.

Driving home from work last night was a trip. It started snowing at 10:00, and by 11:30 there was so much snow blowing around that we were driving from snow pole to snow pole, focussing on the reflectors on the poles and trying not to get hypnotized by the swirling snow in the headlights.
