Even better!!

Last night on top of making snow they got 3-4 inches of the natural stuff! We found the trail much better today having skied it home twice yesterday. and for the first time this trip we actually had to wait a few minutes for the ski lift to open! (I should note it opened 30 minutes later on weekdays). We were the first on a few different trails which is pretty neat!

It was a little distracting to see the fresh snow fly over my ski's but other then a few squeals of delight in the early runs I was successful in not letting it distract me. It was the perfect day. Fresh snow, warmest of the three days, and I had a few trails picked out as favorites, the only thing i would change is the fact that it was the 3rd day and I was starting to fatigue.

I started out the morning with a few strong runs then went to Organgrinder to try out my first purposeful black diamond (others were accidental or coerced). It was a great trail hindered by a few frozen granular patches I could have spent all day!

After lunch Pat and I wondered over to Mt Ellen. Allot of her trails seemed to be closed which was a bummer. It was an economical option ($45 or so instead of $88 for both). if it was fully open I would definitely spend one day at the big mountain and the other just at Mt Ellen. Unfortunately around 230 I started to fall over allot. It was time to go in and sit by the fire.

I got to see an Ermine popping in and out of his snow tunnels. he amused me until Pat came in and we went beck to the condo to sit next to the fire (or in Pats case as far away as possible).
