Golden Light

 

Yesterday was one of those days when we left town in the rain and were resigned to skiing in high winds and rain but then it miraculously cleared when we got to the pass.  This happens occasionally.  Sometimes we also leave town expecting a great day of skiing and arrive at the pass and find miserable conditions.  So that's why we go whenever because you really never know exactly what to expect.

Yesterday it never totally cleared off, but we did see blue holes in the sky.  There was this most amazing golden light.  I think there was a hole in the clouds above us and that it was closed by fog and mist.   So the light shown through but was diffused by the mist.  It was like being in a light box.  The ski conditions were pretty good too, and we could see.  Lately we have been skiing in a lot of whiteout conditions.  And by the time we got back to town it was raining hard again.  Patrick
