Temperature :: -2 deg C
Conditions :: 30cm of beautiful fresh snow, the place is looking magical again!
I took the two boys out boarding yesterday, the conditions were perfect: 27cm of fresh snow on the ground and no wind, a bit overcast. They had fun and did pretty well, it great for me to get out with some total beginners, made me realise how far Elicia and I have come. And I took one go by myself down the Sun Run (blue) in the morning while they were thawing their toes out, the main run had already become slightly packed but I shot around a corner and off into virgin snow, 27cm of powder with no marks in it yet, it was soft soft soft and when I turned it sprayed everywhere. It took all of about 30 seconds to get down that section but it was the single best snowboarding experience I've had all season. *sigh* I'm glad we've got some fresh snow now that we're good enough to appreciate it!
The guys left yesterday late afternoon, they were delighted to have to dig their car out a little bit and use chains. So we survived the squashy weekend and when they left Elicia and I looked around and both thought Wow, it looks so spacious in here now!
