Day 49 - Tuesday Apr 1 - Not Skiing Today Would Be Foolish

I had a dream last night that all my ski partners canceled. I then decided to not go to class and Stacy and I bought Alta day passes. We got on a mysterious lift which took us down canyon to Snowbird's Gad Valley. I had to talk some people into letting us on the lifts there so we could get some turns in before I had to be to class by 10:30. I glanced at my watch (I don't wear a watch) and saw it was 10:25! It was as close as I get to a nightmare. I awoke in a cold sweat. Luckily, after cancellations from CJ, Cody, and Evan; Jer stayed true and we were still able to do some skiing this morning. He picked me up at 4:45 and we went straight to Butler Fork. It was rather cold and dark up there. We had to get moving fast just to keep warm. By the time we reached the top it was just light enough to ski. I was so excited because there was a prime photo opportunity (for which I would have loved to have my new camera on order, but I had to settle for my old one today), but when I went to take the shot the flash went off automatically ruining the shot. It was a beautiful morning with a beautiful sunrise. We only had time for one lap as I had to get to school early in order to finish my finance homework. The new snow made for some good skiing. On ski.
