Powdah day!

A nice fat winter storm parked itself over my house this weekend, and left us a whole slew of freshies to enjoy. I was forced to be responsible on Saturday, but on Sunday set out to see what the storm had left us with Mike and his 13-year-old daughter. We headed up to Ambrosia, only to find our friend Kevin had beat us there and laid in a nice uptrack.

Conditions were fluffy enough to make a girl giggle. Zoe couldn't believe how sweet the skiing was.

She was tearing it up. Really fun to see.

Of course, she has a good teacher.

A whole SLEW of skiers showed up about the time we started up for our last lap - just about every local skier in town. We *almost* outnumbered the snowmobiles - way cool.

What a great way to celebrate Ruby powder!

Six inches of cold smoke at the house this morning... a sunny day with clouds playing in the peaks... who can resist? I didn't quite achieve everything I should have gotten done today but the skiing was worth playing hooky.

Mike and Kevin clearly thought so, too. As Kevin put it while I was staging... "It starts snowing and everybody comes out of the woodwork!"

I don't consider this to be a bad thing, really.

I was a little behind those guys, which meant a gorgeous uptrack for me to follow.

Mike kicks up some fluff.

























Kevin blew by the camera so fast I'm surprised he was in focus. Barely disturbed the snow!


























Finished the day with a run down Ambrosia.
