Skiing!

Yes a post about skiing! Cause the skiing today was awesome.
For the last two days Las Lenas has been in a storm. Howling winds - zero visibility (yes I tried to ski anyway) then today woke up to see a sliver of blue beyong the clouds.
"Ted," I said. "I'm going skiing, I think its going to be a good day."

AND IT WAS IT WAS AWESOME

First we (Ted, Jason and Allison - jason and Allison are two aussie snowboarders living upstairs) drop off this side (right off the chairlift)- covering about 600 vertical feet on a consistent slope, untracked. Knee deep plus powder, smooth, light, my skis are sailing! Then get this - we do this about four more times before it starts getting tracked out. Just people here don't ski off-piste. And blue skies? Crystal blue! Gorgeous sun! Just one of those days that are so perfect.

Then they open another lift and basically -REPEAT - although here the snow was a bit heavier.

And the best news of all? they haven't even opened the main chair lift yet. Perhaps tomorrow. That's when its heading to a whole new level - couloirs, chutes, massive faces.
