First Turns

Last sunday the snow was falling and there was just enough base to make a trip up to the mountain worth while. The big debate was where to go. After a conditions report from a friend that headed up saturday the decision was made. Meadows ski resort. A quick look reveled that we could ski the main area safely since the lifts that were running would not allow access to the #1,2,3 bowls. The snow was just deep enough that hitting the ground was a non-issue. Yes we did have powder and turns were good. It was Cort's first trip on her new gear. Figured out a couple of kinks that will be take care of before she heads out next time. She did great and both her and I had some problems on the first lap. Had to remember how to ski. But the second one went much smoother. With the cold weather and the next dump expected wed and thurs this following weekend is looking good for turns. The additional snow fall will open up the terrain we can ski. Thank god. It was fun to get laps in at the resort.
