Midwestern Powder: Yes, It’s True

When I looked at the web site of my newly favorite local ski area, it said that five new inches of snow were on the ground. Yeehaw!

The day reminded me of how good powder can be, and that it is too bad we don’t have it here more often. I tooled around all types of runs–wide open, trees, greens, blacks, and even the terrain park. OK, so I only thought of sliding on the funbox, but I was there.

Also enjoyable: happening upon four fellow “grays.” I started out meeting only two of the group, and the three of us rode around for about 45 minutes until we got separated from each other. But here’s one odd thing: all three of us were riding goofy. How often does that happen that three randomly selected riders all have a goofy stance?

After I got separated from the other two, I worked my way across the ski area until, at one edge of it, I met up with the original two, plus two others. It was great to spend some time riding around with all of you! Maybe we will meet up on another day.
