Yesterday on the mountain we got the first decent snow in a long time. There was even a few inches of new snow at the parking lot and I was able to ski right to the tailgate of my Jeep. It seems like forever since I did not have to climb 700 feet before I even put on my skis.
Of course it was pretty windy on top - like a full on blizzard. Going up the wind was behind us so it was not so bad. But going down it was hard to see with the wind blown snow getting in the eyes. I had to put my hand in front of my face and peer between a crack in my fingers to see. Even then I felt as though I was getting commercially sand blasted - and my eyes were watering all evening after the ski.
But the dogs did not seem to mind the blowing snow at all. They even wrestled as usual in the snow on top. I think they had atavistic wolf or sled dog like thoughts about the whole outing. This is what they like to do.
