Today we woke up to snow again, but it had dumped about 6 inches and was still falling. We decided to go to The Canyons ski Resort, just down the road.
When we arrived, John realised that his ski poles were missing, so he had to go and rent a pair. However, the rental guy felt sorry for him so gave him a pair for the day, free of charge.
The morning was just amazing. skiing a foot of powder which had collected to more than two foot on the sides of the piste by the trees. We skied through the larch trees in powder over our knees.
The feeling of floating on air down the slopes was something you dream about. The snow here is just so different from the stuff we get in Europe. It's dry, like polystyrene. It is cold but not too cold, still we needed to wrap up.
Lunch happened at the look out cabin near docs run. John decided to carry on skiing and what a good choice. The sun came out and the ski bowl skiing was the best ever. The powder is just so soft, you want to keep on going and going and going!!
On the way up to Docs Trail we saw a moose, infact two, a mother and baby.
The rest of the team had a great lunch and joined John for an afternoon ski. The weather started to really come in and by 3.30PM the snow fell in such quantities that the only thing to do was to go to docs bar and watch the weather from a safe place.
We have never seen such heavy snow, it just bucketed down. We stayed for a few in Docs and then made our way down to the car. The sun came out, finishing the best days skiing you could ever wish for.
Currently more snow is on the way, bring it on!!
