I've never skied in conditions like these: it's really deep! Maggie says that Colorado is like this all the time. Like, I'll try to make a turn, and my poles sink WAY, WAY, WAY into the snow. It's really fun and challenging. I'm really used to ice, I guess. Fabulous conditions like this are new to me.
I did the bunny hill with my oldest, then went on two runs with Maggie and my oldest... then left my them so they could go do their crazy-ass black diamond runs while I struggled down the high-intermediate hills. When I got to the bottom, I heard klaxons... then noticed that there were no lights on. Turns out the power is out in the whole valley. They mountain was completely shut down.
I feel terrible for the folks at Sugarbush. This is the biggest day of the years, and they had to close down at 12:30. Yikes. And after the winter they've had...
Maggie is picking up the two youngest from Ski school, while my oldest is out playing with some kids he just met. Me? I'm gonna post this, and then put away the groceries. We've got power here, which rocks.
Love to all. Even you, the snowboarder with the mucus issues.
