Day 1 - 11-20-2010

So the season got started early this year. Skiing in November in the north west is a real treat. Normally if were skiing by Christmas were stoked but skiing before Thanksgiving?? I'll take it. Of course skiing this early in the season you have to remember EARLY SEASON CONDITIONS EXIST. The top of the mountain was closed due to a lack of snow and the fact that they were still working on the gondola and had the cable on the ground. I pretty much just cruised around Forest Queen and dodged all the rocks for a few hours. Then that's when it happened. We had heard whisperings about it but didn't think it was going to actually happen. Powder Bowl was open!! It was only open long enough to ski two laps but they were two bottomless pow laps that made the day. Winter was back and it was shaping up to be a great one. Check out the video from opening day. It's short but pretty much sums it all up!
