FINALLY!!! It happened! It finally happened. The snow gods smiled on us this year, and granted us three epic days of constantly falling powder, and then capped it off with one gorgeous bluebird day before we had to return to Cali. Soft powdery Colorado snow falling all around us (as opposed to right before we got there, or the worst of all, right after we left in years past). Fresh tracks all day long...
We did have to sacrifice warmth for it though. No 30 or even 20 degree days this time. Think more like 2 and 3 degrees, or into the negatives when we were up early enough. I perfected my gear to the point where almost no cold air whatsoever touched my face once I was zipped in, but others weren't so lucky and we had our first case of frostbite in our crew.
I like to think the new addition to my helmet kept me safe.
