So last Saturday, the 8th, we finally got enough snow to go skiing! My friends up at Sundance told me that even the Wednesday before the back mountain was completely bare with no snow. A huge storm rolled in over the weekend so some friends from work and I headed up early Saturday morning. We ended up waiting in line for two hours because overnight a tree had fallen on the lift and derailed it. When it did open we were about the 6th chair up but they hadn't yet opened the back mountain. As we neared the summit where others were getting off they announced that they had opened it so we were the second chair up. Our first run of the day we were skiing fresh tracks in about 3 feet of powder all the way down Bishop's Bowl. Here I am loving life:
I was so anxious to start the season and when it finally came it was one of the better ski days I've had. The resort was empty because most people weren't expecting the snow so we were skiing fresh tracks all day long. Here's Brian loving life as well:
We went again this last Saturday and with the 5 or 6 new inches of snow the conditions were perfect again. A great way to start the season.

looks like tons of fun-you look really good. i would probably fall a lot of the way down the mountain-and now that i'm in TX i don't think i'll get to develop my long-hidden skiing skills :-(
