Yesterday I climbed up Pyramid to find that it had been rimed. Everything above above 1500 feet had been covered with an inch of ice. You could tell that the wind had been blowing from the east because on sticks and blades of grass the rime formed sort of an ice flag on the downwind side. If it had been sunny everything would have sparkled, but in a way I like the muted light. I could see the sun trying to beam through the clouds and it provided a soft and golden light.
Surprisingly enough the skiing was actually pretty good. At the very end of the storm a dusting of snow coated all the ice. It made for a flat and carvable surface. Patrick
