November 22 The Best Day EverMonday (Nov 20) was the best ski day ever!
*for some reason, images are refusing to display today, so here are the links to the images. You can memorize the captions and then recite them to yourself as you look at the photos.
The day started with snow dumping from the sky so hard that on the first run down, I have no idea where I went. Kendra reckons it was not a run, but a rocky chute beside Whitehorn, which, if visible, probably would look deadly. Luckily I couldn't see where I was.
The snow kept falling from big purple clouds until early afternoon, at which point the sky opened up and the sun came out, making the untracked snow sparkle. Yes, untracked snow, because in spite of the deep powder and perfect temperature, nobody was on the hill that day.
 Kendra sets out from summit to make some first tracks...at 3 in the afternoon!
I set a personal best by skiing over a clump of five trees at once, which nicely filled my clothes up with snow, and also enjoyed my biggest crash in a few years on the last run of the day when I inexplicably lost my footing and bounced and tumbled about 25 metres, giving myself mild whiplash (or something that involves a sore neck) and once again filling myself with snow.
