Today was the best powder skiing in years! While the shoulder doctor says "no skiing", the PT says "no falling". I didn't fall. And the snow was amazing. Palisades opened on time, there was lots light powder. The traffic was horrible (our friends were stuck for over an hour and missed the goods) but that kept the crowds down on the mountain. KT looked busy so I stayed on Red Dog with - nobody else. OK, it only lasted an hour, but what an hour! Actually the Gold Coast trees were surprisingly good late in the morning. By noon, we were spent - and the risk of falling increased. And the snow was not as awesome as earlier. And my shoulder and my wife's ribs were hurting - so we called it.
The storm cycle looks to be ending but the powder season has been made!
On to spring skiing!
