Yesterday Nora had school until late, and we were worried if there would be enough daylight for a ski. But we had received a lot of new snow overnight and it had cleared off - too nice of a day to skip! So I picked her up a tad early and we headed up to the pass about an hour later than our usual time. And it was totally worth it!
The snow was phenomenal and the sunset absolutely spectacular. The color in these photos captures pretty much what it looked like - I did not use filters to make it so pastel. The sunlight was shining through various layers of fog, mist and cloud and created a tangerine peach-like pink and orange color that suffused the whole mountain. It was like being in a pastel light box. We never actually saw the sun.
As we skied down the light turned more purple, and then it faded to dusk. By the time we got back to the car it was the gloaming after sunset. We drove home by the light of our headlights.
But what a GREAT sunset ski we had!
