It's been pretty much rain and snow for the last week, and, after yesterday it is supposed to be more rain and snow through to New Year's Day. But yesterday it was sunny. The skiing was terrible but it was sunny. And sunshine does work wonders.
In the days prior to yesterday the skiing has been pretty good but the visibility poor. Deep slushy snow in a blinding blizzard. Then on Monday night it froze and turned to ice on high and breakable crust down low. And the sun came out. So Stuey and I headed up to Pyramid to ski with the cousins.
It really is amazing how much snow we got in the last week. Just a week ago on the Solstice (Wednesday), just before the storm I went skiing on Pyramid and it was so thin and icy with sticks and rocks poking up that I walked from mid jibber the rest of the way down. Now there is a solid and very dense 3 feet of new snow in the jibber. WOW!
Fingers crossed that we get more.
