Storm skiing melts me to the core - no matter how cold it is.
Measuring Stick
Waist deep
I think the thing that registers loudly in my brain is the fact that I can't get the powder when I want it.
Mountain bike trails are there to be ridden ... EVERY day. Big peaks are there to climb ... EVERY day. Trout are laying in the streams waiting to bite my fly ... EVERY day.
Powder days are not promised ... are never guaranteed ... so I try like hell to find myself on the mountain when the sky is puking snow.
It's just so hard to accept the alternative sometimes.

Time to cross check OpenSnow, NOAA, Vail.com and CDOT .... I think another storm is coming soon.
