I'm one very happy man

30" at snowbird in the last two days, big fat powder skis, mostly clear skies, and a vacation day.  What did I do to deserve this?

Oh my God this morning was incredible up at snowbird.  The wind was blowing hard at the top ( but nowhere else ), so they closed little cloud and mineral basin never opened, but there was tons of deep untracked powder all over Gad II.  People on the lift were whining about the thin windblown layer on top in some spots.  No thin layer of anything is going to stop me on my new fat boards, they're like skis on steroids.  I'm skiing in the powder better than ever before, and making perfect tracks on the hardest terrain up at Snowbird.  I skied longer than I probably should have today, and I'm sure it's going to hurt deadlifting this week, but that's OK it was well worth it.  It looks like the storms are going to stop for a while starting this weekend, so I'll get back to deadlifting heavy when the powder's gone.
