We were out by 8:05 and back home by 9:55. We only skied 6,690 vertical feet (vs a typical day of 20k or so), before we gave in to cold and poor visibility. Due to high winds yesterday and overnight, the snow was hard and crusty, despite the nearly continue snowfall for days. Wind does that. Yesterday, there were whiteouts on the mountain, and we even got caught in one while driving home from lunch. We had to creep along Mt. Werner Circle Rd trying to follow the tail lights ahead without hitting them or driving off the road. Life is hard out here in Steamboat.
Happy New Year and a prosperous 2008 to my vast reading audience!
