Thursday: still fine

4:30 pm: coming down the drop on lower Zinger.  Dave is moving fast and paying attention.  There's a dusting of powder on the hard base giving decent speed and control.  The snow is red, the color coming from the beautiful sunset.  Skiing at dusk is my favorite time, because of the colors, and because the lack of light makes you ski by balance and sound rather than sight.  I'm off to family for the holiday, but hope the weather holds so many of you can enjoy this wonderful early winter gift.
