There was 20cms of fresh snow on Thursday! Too bad my two days off were Tuesday and Wednesday. It snowed like crazy on Wednesday night, but like every Wednesday, we went for a cross-country ski. On the alpine skis, I’m not one to ski groomed runs if there is deeper snow to be found. It’s quite the opposite on the XC trails though. I don’t ever remember sweating so much to go a couple of kilometers, and with all the fresh snow falling, it was more of a workout than I had bargained for. The snow was still coming down hard late on Wednesday after the XC ski, and I knew Thursday morning was going to be a powder day. I got a couple of phone calls about how much snow was accumulating as friends were planning “sick days” for the following morning. This could all be simplified if employment contracts included a 20 cm rule. No excuses to be made, no calling in sick, it would just be expected that if there is 20cms or more of fresh snow, you would not be at work in the morning.
This should apply for accountants too…I had to work Thursday.

Made it out nice and early today. No tracks on the skiway as Monika and I left the house. I guess we finally beat the Leboes….
Skied some sweet lines in Silverwoods in heavy but untouched powder. Hitting the groomed ski out at the bottom was a bit like hitting Brewer’s Pond with skis on!! Glade Runner and Robin’s Hood were definitely showing themselves off today.
Shifted gears and flew to the Comet, riding the “couch” to the top with a giggling group of powderhounds. Sure like the energy of a powderday! Carol and Keith were on board ahead of us. I could hear them laughing from 3 chairs back….
Scootered past some CSIA Interski dudes who seemed a little lost away from the groomed. We led them into a windblown Moonbeam and down to the Alpine Meadows chair. I don’t think I have ever seen it as busy as it was this morning! The snow was definitely drier on Attridge, thus the crowded chair.
Home for coffee and breaky by 10:30, and now looking to skate ski in the afternoon. Tonight it’s pond hockey with the ski school – snowboarders versus alpine. Thanks to Ewan for organizing.
More snow on the way. Just gotta ski it, eh!!
