I love skiing. I was feeling down on the season and wasn't sure if I was going to see any more good days this season. I was wrong. CJ and I met at the mouth of Little this morning at 5:30. Due to the lack of an iPod we once again listened to NPR for the drive up. The snowpack is a bit unstable right now so we wanted to ski something we were both comfortable with. We decided Patsy Marley would be a good fit since I needed to be to class by 9:10. We skinned all the way across the ridge and found some super sweet snow in the bowl headed back in
to Grizzly. As we approached it we each dug a quick snow pit and decided it was safe to ski. This was a good decision since the skiing was great. I was so happy to get back out on some good snow and remember why I do this kind of stuff. My turns were rusty at the top, but I got into the groove soon thereafter. CJ looked good as always. Here is a video of CJ shredding. We made a quick second lap towards the beginning of the PM ridge just to get a few more turns in. I was able to make it to class on time but this would have been a good one to miss. All we did was watch a video that is on the internet and I could have just as easily watched later. Oh, well. I guess one or two more laps wouldn't have been too great (that's just what I am telling myself).
