We don’t get a ton of chances to ski together, so today I had to break one of my cardinal rules.  That’s right, I’m skiing with my significant other on a powder day.

That’s OK, I get the feeling that there’s going to be lots more where this came from.

Pretty damn good for early season, dontcha think?

It’s all coming now.  Since that avvie cycle last week it’s pounded a bunch more snow, and they’re opening up lots of terrain for us.

Today there was a hush-hush “locals only” opening of the front side (the stuff in the pics that slid from a few days back) for about 90 minutes.  All you needed was a helmet and you could go in.

No action shots.  I wasn’t going to stop, but I did grab this pic on the last lap.  That’s 12:30 inbounds.

A run like that deserves a punch in the armpit, for sure.
