Foggy Top

Fog, that was the word for the day. I had to wear sunglasses the entire drive up -- until the last 10 miles -- then it was socked in. The good news was fog keeps the sun from shining and therefore the snow from melting. It's a little early for ice. The bad news was that visibility was pretty limited at times.

Watch out for the snags.

Yea, I'm awesome.

Riding through the fog was an adventure--light was really flat in some areas requiring one to stay loose over the compressions. The trees really weren't in play--pretty crust in there. That said, it was a beautiful day--lots of snow on the trees and a small crowd.

We're off to a great start this year. The mountain is in great shape, the storms are here with more on the way this week, and management seems to be getting a grip on some of the bigger issues. I'm not holding out, but it could be another epic year.
