Sunday night at Lipsett Point I woke up in the middle of the night to sleet and wind battering the teepee. But the morning brought clear skies, and Philip and I could see that the mountains all around had a mantle of new snow. While we were waiting on the beach for our boat ride home I checked out the north side of Pyramid mountain through my binoculars. It looked like there was enough snow to go skiing.
I got back too late to go skiing, but then last night there was another storm and I woke up to a mantle of new snow on the lawn. Whoo hooooo first snow. So today immediately after work I took the doggies up Pyramid. There was certainly enough snow to go skiing. It was even, dare I say it, good skiing. I skinned up the mountain from the parking lot and up high the snow was actually even a bit too deep for the dogs. And it was powder!
And so begins the ski season.
Whoo wee! Look at all that snow!
