Day 1 = powder and fun!

Hey everyone,
Today was our 1st day of riding on the mountain and it was fantastic! We are currently in the middle of a snowstorm so it is absolutely dumping! I guess our snowdance actually worked ;-)
Got up there for 1st lifts and managed to find some fresh powder turns. One of my favourite sayings is "No friends on powder days", however this has now been slightly modified to "No friends on powder days, however there is a wife" - fortunately for me, Josie can keep up ;-) Perhaps marriage has mellowed me, as I used to have a reputation for leaving people behind if there was a hint of fresh powder. Still Josie knows I can get a bit impatient if I think she is not getting ready quick enough :-)

Unfortunately I haven't got any shots of us in the pow - who has time to take photos when powder is around?! Plus it was about -15 so I wasn't keen on taking off the gloves! Below is an action shot of Josie after our search for powder had finished.


One of these days Josie will take an action shot of me that isn't blurred, but thumbs up for the end of the day!


The forecast is saying more snow over the next 4-5 days, however this seems to change on a daily basis, so who knows :-) Josie and I will continue to perform the snow dance as well as make the odd sacrifice as an offering to keep the snowgods happy.....now where's that knife again....

talk again soon!
