Avy Dog Trading Cards

The Ski Patrol made these groovy Avalanche Dog Trading Cards. The front side has a photo of the dog and pertinent facts.  The back side has some ski safety tips.  I think we will be handing them out to kids in the Snowsports School, during Ski Safety Week, and other special occasions.  I think they are pretty cool and  I bet I end up sneaking a few of them to adults also.

Prepping for the Next Storm

Today is a good start to the Holiday Season.  Blue skies, great snow, and a lot of people having fun.  The Ski Patrol keeps moving forward.  They did some avalanche and explosive work in West Zuma Bowl.  They continued with the ski packing and ski cutting on Slalom Slope, Powderkeg, Radical and moving towards Standard and 13 Cornices.  Late yesterday they had big impacts in North Glade and the Pali Lift Line area.  Let's hope we get some of that white Christmas morning.  The crew is impacting the snow in a very positive way and is ready for that next storm.

Humbug

Lots of smiles out there today.  Had my first crepe of the season at Black Mountain Lodge, The New Yorker, pastrami and red potato salad.  Delicious.   Plenty of good soft snow out there.  Humbug is always a treat.  Any direction that the wind blows lays a soft sweet layer on that trail.  This time of year Humbug is some entry level couloir skiing.  A narrow gully, but not so steep.  Really fun to ski.
