I just noticed that I have not posted in almost a week. Last Saturday night and into Sunday morning it snowed like crazy and then it turned to rain on Sunday. It re set everything.
I knew it was going to turn rain and went up to ski with the dogs at first light. It was already raining when we left the house in the dark, but by the time we got to the golf course it was getting light and all snow rather than rain. And there were no other tire tracks in the road. We were the first ones to drive to the pass.
It was a total blizzard at the pass and the skiing was quite good. But it was also pretty windy and hard to see with snow blowing in my eyes. The dogs could get around in the deep powder, and one of the highlights was when Bodi busted up a snowshoe hare on one side of the trail and it ran in front of me across the trail and literally came face-to-face with Red on the other side of the trail. Manna from Heaven for Red! It was quite the commotion, but the dogs have no chance chasing the rabbits in the deep snow. The video at bottom shows the depth of the snow better than the pictures.
On Monday it got cold again and it has been cold all week. I've been skate skiing with the dogs every day until today at the golf course. Pretty fast conditions! I actually took a bunch of pictures skate skiing with the dogs at the golf course and then deleted them all by accident re formatting the memory card.
