After a solid breakfast of French toast we took the new detachable six-pack up to Sam’s Knob and then down to the Burn lift all in a snowstorm. It had snowed during the night so there was powder everywhere. The wind was creating drifts on Sneakies so after Powdering it down to Adam’s avenue we took trestle over to Elkcamp and then down cascade to two creeks. The staff had groomed a number of slopes but they all had 6 inches of powder on top of the solid base so we had great fun bounding through the powder. We were both impressed with our improve ability to deal with powder. It can be a lot of fun but one must alter one’s technique to take the deep white stuff into account. You can’t do short turns but must do wide graceful turns even if you are hurtling down the slop near the speed of sound. This is probably the wrong thing to say
but I have yet to fall. We enjoyed the soup lunch provided by the hotel and headed back out into the snow.

After some wine in the Jacuzzi with snow falling on our heads we got dressed and sauntered over to the Double Tree après sky party. Twrp Anderson and John (I’m just a country boy) Sommers provided the entertainment from 3-6 pm. Twrp shoes horses in the off season. The picture of the group doesn’t include John as he was prepping for a colonoscopy. good luck John! I always ask that they play “the sloop John B” but this year Twrp seemed to be a little weak on the words. Then we were off for a delicious Mexican dinner.
