awesome awesome day today. Last two days its been storming here in Las Lenas, this morning it dawned clear - and the powder day was ON. Say about 1 and a half feet fresh.

Ted (roommate) flies past me on a first run, which is just NOT on, so I POINT my skis down a 200 foot face and straight line it. I'm so close with my skis - being comfortable really letting them run the way they are supposed to.

Anyway- awesome three runs off the quad chair then Volcano opens - and we move over and have an even more powder-y run down through the gully -Just like shooting womprats in Beggar's Canyon.

THEN after two runs - that's skied out - Marte's closed, so we start this rather epic boot pack up avalanche debris to access a face. 30 mins of suffering later we lay down the best lines anyone got today. Then we did again - but went even higher. Then I was DONE. Later people would ask - what did you do today - and I'd say - you know those lines on the main face?
;)

Tomorrow is my birthday and word is Marte is going to open.
