I skied with Denis today at Kirkwood.  It was a beautiful day and the snow finally softened a bit.  We've had mid-Atlantic style frozen granular out here for a few days.

Here are some pics:

Denis skiing near Solitude chair with his AT set-up.

Near chair 3, Iron Horse access to backside

View of the Cirque on a pretty day, but enough pretty days, they need snow!

Thimble Peak and The Wall (very firm these days)

Dropping in.

Better skiing was a few hundred yards over.  This is Wagon Wheel bowl below the Wall.

Can't post pictures of Denis without showing him on his telemark gear, this from a couple days ago.

"... An important thing I'm finding about my trip:  it's not all about the snow, it's about the people too.  Had a wonderful home cooked meal after skiing with friends in UT and doing a lot of reminiscing skiing here at Kirkwood with an old friend from VA ..."

We so appreciate you spending time with us - and by the way that  Ullr bottle looks hardly touched after you left us :

Come snow! Come snow! Fall fast, fall slow Be it powder or crud, let the inches be shown Come snow! Come snow! Blessed Ullr bestow Make white our peaks; Make full our bowls Come snow! Come snow! From here to fro Let Ullr be praised! Let his gifts be shown.

Sigh, Just makes the thought of  work tomorrow that much harder....
