This winter hasn’t been a great ski year for most of the country. Washington is very lucky to have about an average amount of snow for this time of year. We got most of it Thanksgiving week and it has been pretty dry since then, so although we have a decent amount of snow, it’s not great quality.
A couple weekends ago, I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to get out for my first turns of the year. Tyla and my friend Andy from work headed down to Crystal with me. We had a great day and the groomers were pretty nice. Andy and I snuck off at lunch for a quick run down Powder Bowl. The entry was a bit dicey as we picked through some rock bands, but the snow was decent. Throughout the day, I was smiling from ear to ear watching Tyla get better and better with every run. It’s quite an accomplishment for her considering that I’m her teacher and that starts her out in a big hole!
