the days: since i last posted on march 3rd - to today the 18th. we have had plenty of snow, the last storm on the 14th, dropping more than a foot at our house and more than two feet up high. i haven't kept track, but it's has definitely been both cold~ish and warm~ish, as in lots of fluffy, dry and or heavy, wet snow. the wind has also been up and down, but seems like a lot of up. same thing with clouds and sun...sometimes it's grey, sometimes it's blue.
the adventures: way too many to remember, but all the usual local ones...
the memories: skiing with dick over at swma in the morning and with pam out back on her 'loop' around noon. she is on her new skis and loving being able to "scoot right along!" at the end of the loop, we left some tracks down through the field.
up on moose mountain in some of that really deep stuff--dried out and fluffy after one of those cold~ish and windy nights.
on town hill, when the deep stuff was not too wet but plenty heavy, i stopped and took pictures of the porky trail where it crosses our ski trail--looking east and west. it hadn't been out plowing the fresh stuff yet.
over on cardigan after a big snow, blown about by lots of wind. the bad news: 'the chute' is now being used as a skin track, getting from orange up and over to alexandria. the good news: i still got first tracks coming over the cornice and then coming back down the west side ski trail.
the pictures don't nearly do justice to how nice the skiing was. going down, i saw noah and simon going up. they sent me this picture from just past the bottom of the chute on the hurricane gap trail.
on one of those deep days, pam and i did the loop in snowshoes and i took a 'series' of the fun.
notes:- sometimes you just have to ski through the trees...
- before getting to play in the snow, there is always plenty of shoveling...
- after playing in the snow, there is always plenty more shoveling...
- snow is wonderful, even when you have to shovel it...
go outside and play!
