Fresh powder snow

Snow has been pounding all day, visibility zero, the output that incoming flights were canceled, the course was closed because plows can not keep up, even the lifts of the day the snow had problems with. The boots and clothes of the frozen ground '. Your car is stuck in the parking lot found with a dozen other stragglers in the same situation. Sounds like a nightmare, but this is really the beginning of an epic ski Adventure.

Lucky for you that will be found, have been locked in Alta, the home of the deeper, lighter, steeper and the snow. This scenario occurs only for the lucky dog when dust Little Cottonwood Canyon is flooded with snow up to safety point where the road has to close. High staff provided a warm room, hot meals and a lift ticket for the next day, when this happens, and often has snow discharge> Snow that has become known in Utah. The next day is what dreams are, especially if the barrel remains closed, as the sky disappears inexplicably leave a Bluebird powder day to steal a soul around. Fresh is worth more than gold.

It 's like renting the place for a private party in the best powder day of the year.

Ski boots have warmed to the work of one of the many shoe dryers and no do not worrysome ski clothes stink. Once the skis are tied, goggles available, the only thing that is too inconvenient to wait for the explosions in the area disappear, avoiding the ski patrol avalanche with bombs and grenades. If this elevator open line there is often a mad rush to get the first chair, but not today. The few people online are friendly, knowing that all their hype, a chair will not make a difference in the search for prisoners of war without end is not monitored.

The next decision isdifficult, where do you go? Prefer to hide? Not yet, except for later, you have title for the first time in a while 'at this point and, probably, the cannon will open in a few hours. The epic tracks blue. This is what I dream to ski quickly, until the clouds deep, soft powder that covers every jump and get a good smooth consistency and make every step as easy as spreading butter on fresh bread baking. I said I just baked?

After a few pictures and the rock wallDrops that make every effort baba photographer starting to begin to make the crowd wanting more chaotic than they think would lead to a virgin powder (can not imagine that every race has finished his tour), and suddenly a warm serving wine Brulé, the body warm in a spa sounds irresistible, and you know, the day is done.

Do not forget, there is the likelihood of it happening again is slim.
