It rained a little again last night and then snowed all day today. It was beautiful but a serious bitch to work in. I took about 600 shots in the blizzard and sold exactly none of them. If it weren't for a few kind souls who braved the weather and bought a few pics from days past, the day would have been a complete wash.

That said, we desparately needed the snow. The bottom of the mountain was looking like someone has a taken a massive shit and smeared it all over the place. I have some nice new gauges in the bottoms of my new skis from running over exposed rocks. The snow has been the texture of corn meal and the consisteny of a slurpee. It's nasty. It's great to ski when it's 40 plus degrees outside, but not if the snow is a complete disaster.

So now that will change, at least until the mercury rises again. Snow was still falling when I left Vail. Hopefully it will storm on th mountain all night and we can have a few nice days of skiing before the next front arrives, if the next front arirves.
