Finally, Snow



It's been a while since my last blog. Here's some pics of the snow in CB. Keep in mind that a lot of this depth is from snow that's slid off the roof, but it's starting to get deep. After 4 weeks of anemic snowfall we finally got back to back storms that brought about 2.5 feet. The North Face and High lifts opened up to access some deep but bony terrain. I spent about 45 minutes with a stone and file on my ski edges as the result of some rock-strewn runs down Tower 11, but it was certainly worth it. The backcountry is a bit frightening at the moment. You can see slides above the west side of the valley that all released without triggers. It's tender out there. At the Nordic Center we're ready to fully enter into Alley Loop race mode - organizing volunteers, running the hot box 24/7, and getting ready to wax 50 pair of skis next Friday night for the junior team fundraiser. Life is good in the Butte. In my alter-ego entrepreneurial life I'm working on some ski pole straps, costing out some clogs for a start-up, and getting ready to start development on some sick cycling shoes. Details to follow. I hope that you're all enjoying winter in your own way and playing in the snow if you have it.
