Day 25: Spoiled

I didn't ski yesterday, but should have. While Skidog, Marc_C and crew were skiing freshies I had a lack-of-sleep hangover from staying up until nearly 3 a.m. the night before prepping for my dream laptop to arrive from Dell. Pathetic.

Today I was feeling less than inspired, as Bob Dangerous would say. Following week after week of scoring powder each and every day, skiing groomers ahead of the next storm that moves in tonight just wasn't cutting it for me. Yep, I'm a powder slut. Powder princess. Sally. Call me what you will, but I packed it up and headed home at 11:45.

They mowed down bumps all over the hill in anticipation of this next storm. Such uncommonly groomed runs as Spring Valley (top to bottom), Challenger and No. 9 Express sported corduroy today. Fun in its own way, of course, but not what I'm looking for these days.

No photos today, as it was thick and grey and getting thicker as the storm approaches.

Next up: Snowbasin on Tuesday for Outdoor Retailer Backcountry Base Camp.

Gotta be some damn good snow today. That is if you can get up there?
