First Week in February - Fantastic

The first week in February was incredible! The snow fell consistently Monday thru Wednesday, let up slightly on Thursday and then came down seriously on Friday. I had skied three mornings already this week so Friday I decided to work....bad idea. Although there was only 1" mentioned on the 5am snow report, it was snowing so hard that there must have been 10" of new snow by noon. With work piling up on my desk it just did not seem right for me to leave. I was not being very pleasant to the others in my office. Joey came in to find me staring out the window at the falling snow with the fuzzy live mountain camera on my computer monitor. I was dreaming of Storm Riding. That's when the snow is falling so hard that you can't see the chair lift in front of you; where your tracks are filled in before you get back to the top of the mountain; where every line is fresh and the silence of the falling snow is deafening.

I'll be skiing tomorrow.
