The sun is back - snow is good - work is suffering - I am happy.
Unbelievable conditions - sun and snow ...
The longest tow
Plenty of time to soak in the scenery on the way up
Snow blindness isn't really and issue

Oh so freshiesAs some of you may know, I am a bit of a sun worshipper. Give me jandals and shorts over boots and insulated body suits any day. This week however, I began to appreciate some of the benefits of below freezing temperatures and living so close to the North Pole. These conditions, it turns out, are perfect for laying on acres and acres of powder.
I spent more hours on the slopes this week than I did in the office. Unbelievably on some days we were the only people there, which meant we could ride virgin powder for hours. Sitting in the car waiting for the back window to defrost enough to let us put our gear away, we were amazed at how many runs of untouched snow remained. It's just a shame it gets dark so early ...
Struggling to stay afloat in the delicious powder
