Mt Baker delivers

Oops. Sleeping in of the first day isn't a good start! Nevermind. We got up and headed to the hill about 9:30!

I looked outside and there was no new snow on the ground or on the car. Oh well, we can hit up the groomers and warm up the legs right? Well i was sort of right and sort of wrong. They did have a snowfall last night (about 11 inches in 24 hours) and there was plenty of fresh around it seemed. The combination of it being a weekend and our late start didn't help me in my quest to have the best days skiing of my life but Bruce and Jarrod probably had it today.

We played around on the green runs first up and got some nice powder sections. Bruce and Jarrod were both getting used to being in powder but were loving it. We also did a lot of runs on Chair 8 and hit alot of the blues up there and tried to find as much powder as possible. I ducked into the trees now and then and found some little turns.

As usual i was feeling like an unco first up but by the end of the day I was starting to feel it a bit more. Plenty of time to get into it though!

By the end of the day Chair 8 was well and truly tracked and our legs were also fully done. It was a good day. We got some killer views of Mt Shuskan and played around on a little banked slalom.

There is more snow due throughout the week so hopefully we will get in some good turns. There is no snow on the ground at the moment but as I've learnt that doesn't mean much.

Fingers crossed.
