Winter is here.


As you can see from this picture taken from my front door, Winter has come... with a vengeance! It started snowing Thursday morning and hasn't stopped since.
The mountain opened Thursday. On Friday I went up to the mountain to get my first ride of the season, but they had closed the lifts due to high wind. So, for fun, I hiked up to McCoy Station with my board. The wind and snow was intense. It took my an hour and a half hike up and I had to drop to the ground many times during particularly gusty periods, too windy to walk. At McCoy, I warmed up at Brian's place, then boarded down in 0 visibility.
Today, the mountain had 4 lifts open and the snow keeps falling. Pretty soon, the entire mountain will be open. This is my first real snow winter and so far... I'm loving it!.

Meanwhile, it's still 50 degrees at 3:33 in the morning here. I'm so very bitter about all of this. Nature likes to tease me like this - last week it was down into the mid-twenties in the evening, but it came right back to the fourties and fifties. Boo!
