The Most Fun You Can Have With Your Clothes On

There's really nothing like floating down the mountain in ribbons of soft, light, fresh powder. It's like flying. You can't see your skis. You can barely see ahead of you because so much snow is blasting all over the place. You just glide down in gently arcing turns. It's glorious.

This morning, after a foot of snow dumped all night here in the Vail valley, there was fresh powder all over the mountain. I was in heaven. I skied from about 8:45 to 11 when I had to start working, by which time I was exhausted from powering down so hard on my thighs.

It was snowing and it could have been warmer, but I don't think I've ever had a nicer morning of skiing anywhere. It is supposed to dump all week so the snow should get even better in the up coming days.
