it's beginning to look...

a whole heck of a lot like christmas.

18 inches saturday night, followed by 5 more inches sunday morning.

sunday on the mountain with my sister-in-law, jamie, was right up there with the day rob and i had at monarch 2 seasons ago. i mean, wow. waist deep, super cold, low moisture content snow. i choked on it a few times when making big turns. check out the picture of my iced-out beard below.

16 more inches on the summit last night. that's around 40 inches on top of the ski area, in 48 hours, from this storm.

wow.
