Gorgeous!

A day of mid-week skiing!
What a good decision to go skiing yesterday!

Granted it was hard to get up at 4:30 after only about 5 hours of sleep, but it was worth it.
We left my place around 5:15 towards Kirkwood, where we pulled into the parking lot around 8:40, after having stopped for a breakfast ABC (Apple Fritter, Bearclaw, Coffee) at Starbucks in Stockton.
The weather was perfect! Temperatures in the high 40's, sunny, blue skies. The snow conditions were superbe as well... Nice groomed runs, and lots of untouched powder... And the best part: No crowds! After a warm-up run off chair five, we headed up 'The wall' for a few runs, before going to the Backside. Perfecy conditions everywhere! After a quick lunch break we went back to the Cornice, were we did a few runs... On those runs I finally felt the return of my skiing-mojo! I was able to stick nice conected turns on rather steep terrain...
A few fast runs, with nice wide turns off chair 5 finished of the day.
The drive back was nice as well, back at my place at 5:45pm. Great 12.5 hours!
