Thanksgiving Ski

 

Yet another ski post!  The next one will be about cooking - I swear.  It's just that our ski on Thanksgiving was so special that I had to post on it.  

Leaving town with the kids I was worried about what we'd find on the mountain.  Earlier in the morning when it was still dark we did get a little precipitation, but I did not think it would make the ski conditions on the mountain appreciably better than Wednesday's ice.  And when we left town it was still sprinkling.  I was worried we would be skiing wet ice in a whiteout.

Boy was I wrong.  The sun came out and there was an evenly distributed 1-2 inches of new snow on the mountain. It had not even blown off on the top of the mountain.  'Dust on crust conditions!  Admittedly, the ski conditions are certainly 'not good' but for late November they are good.  And on Thursday we had a wonderful Thanksgiving ski!
