Damn! Well, at least there is a video. Had a great day today
with Walt, in a blizzard. This is getting to be routine. At
least the wind didn't keep us from the top.

Not here, all we have is only "outrageously beautiful" sunny
California skiing,

Neat. I also have your shadow in the tree skiing sequence from Heavenly.

Besides that, it's snowing again today. Light, puffy blower. Too bad
there won't be more than a few inches of it. The snow in front of my
house is piled to the eaves from the road plow going by out front and
the roof sliding. Out back, where there are no plows or roofs, the
natural depth is about 3' and that's down in the valley, the valley so
low...

Well, we will not see the rain clouds for another week at the least.
The two feet of snow (what resort claimed) fell on the last storm
systems lasted about three days, and now is all but tracked out and
groomed out. The snow in the trees remains soft, nevertheless, rocks
are the rule.

It'll be another "disgustingly gorgeous" skiing day today,

Have a good one,

I think that there's a pattern emerging. When someone skis with you,
there's a blizzard. When someone skis with lal, only a small part of
the hill is open. When you two ski together, there's a blizzard AND the
hill is only partly open



At least the wind didn't keep us from the top.

True, but it was close. Remember the Skyship gondola operator saying
that another 5mph and the gondola would have been in a wind hold.
Ramshead lift was closed altogether.
