Canyons 12/26

I had other plans for today, but when they fell through I decided to get in a few runs. I grabbed my snowboard and headed to the Canyons for a little bit right around noon.


(Sun over Flight of the Canyons.)

It was *cold* out, definitely a good day for a balaclava (not to be confused with Baklava :)). I started on Saddleback and made runs on Snow Dancer and Kokopelli before heading over to Snow Creek. There I hit Eclipse and Echo before dropping down to Super Condor. Boa was probably the best run of the day - great snow and no one at all on it. Devil's Friend had some great snow to the skiers right. But with temps in the teens and feeling even colder than that, I decided I'd had enough. We're supposed to get 12-18" of snow tonight so we'll try again tomorrow.

'til later,

Snow!!! 12/7

Finally! After teasing us with snow in early October, Mother Nature clammed up and "treated" us to 70 degree temps in much of November. That great if you love golf and all but ... let's just say that I was real happy when I woke up to 10" of snow in my driveway this morning. It's about time.


(My deck.)

So, I was out clearing the driveway so I could go to the office when I thought ... this is 10" of snow!!! So, I tossed the skis in the trunk and headed off to the Canyons. Granted, they didn't have any more trail open that they did last weekend, but the snow was better. And I'll be they get some more trail open for tomorrow.

Anyhow, this is the first serious storm of the year. It's supposed to snow through the night and all day tomorrow. Snowfall totals could top 3 feet in the mountains. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Get out here and ski!

'til later.
