Day 40 - Friday Mar. 2 - Powder at Snowbird?

I thought it was just a myth. After I made my way down from Big Cottonwood with CJ I went to my parents' house to meet Cole. We waited for Little Cottonwood to open then made our way up to Snowbird. We listened to The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots on the way up. We were able to park in the lower lot and get skiing quickly. We immediately began finding some sweet snow. Run after run we were hitting sweet powder shots all over the mountain. We skied the chutes underneath GadZoom. We skied the Cirque. We skied all over all day. We just couldn't go wrong. As the day progressed we decided we would just make a few large laps all the way around to the Cirque (and since we don't have Tram passes this takes a while). On our last lap all the way around they opened Road to Provo for the first time in a couple of days. We decided to ski that instead and we got the best run of the day. We came all the way around and got fresh tracks. Fresh tracks? Yeah, fresh tracks. At Snowbird! They do exist. This was almost like seeing BigFoot, but even more rare. Cole was tearing it up today. He has improved so much this year. He has improved so much this week. He is really becoming a good skier. Next step, freeing his heel. We had a great time today. We just couldn't get enough. We didn't have time to eat. We ran into a dude I work with, Mike, at the Aerie. He took a few runs with us, but we were difficult to keep up with, so he didn't last long. What a day - killer tour this morning and the best resort day I have had all year this afternoon. We listened to the Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not on the way down.
