Stacy and I went up to USA Bowl this morning. I have been wanting to get out with her and allow her to actually have the opportunity to ski rather than just kind of get back to the car as has been the case in the past over at Porter Fork. We passed a few interesting things on the way up the canyon including a moose and several guys I work with. Having never been to this area before, I had been told this week by a few different people how to get there. I have to say that I was expecting a much shorter approach by the way people had explained it. Not that it was terribly far (in fact, it was shorter than most of the tours I do), but they just made it seem like there is, in essence, no a
pproach - which wasn't the case. We met some nice people on the way up - Doug, Robin, and Melissa. They asked us if we wanted to blaze one during a short break to which we politely declined. When we reached the bowl Stacy was a bit tired so I continued on for a quick lap with our new friends while Stacy rested up. The snow was great. It was light and deep - just how I like it. I came back down and met Stacy and we then hiked up for some turns. She was nervous since this was going to be her first experience in powder, one of her first few days really telemarking, and the terrain was a bit steeper than she would have necessarily chosen on her own. I was having a blast. I was re
ally just happy to be out there with her. She, on the other hand, got a little frustrated after finding that powder skiing is not as easy as I make it out to be. I do feel like she had a good time even after all the difficulty and hardships. It really was a good day. I had the best of company, the skies were blue, and the snow was sweet. Ahhh.
