It rained pretty hard all day Wednesday and it seemed pretty warm - dismal. But yesterday on my drive in to work I saw new snow on all the mountaintops near town. 'Whooo hoooo,' I thought, 'time to go skiing'. And so after work I rushed home to get my ski gear together and pick up the dogs. Then we rushed on up to the pass to climb Pyramid and go skiing. The first ski of the new year!
Only there was not very much snow. Barely any snow in fact. Good thing I brought my 'rock' skis - a really old pair of skis that I do not mind thrashing on rocks. I found a run of snow covered ground about 100 meters long and got in my ski. Dogs barking and jumping around in the sunshine. It certainly was beautiful up there in the late fall sunlight. Maybe the snow was a little desperate but I was glad I climbed up the mountain with my skis.
And, funnily enough, I did not hit a single rock. Patrick
