The wind was outta control today,
it seemed like at least a
category 2 hurricane early on,
yet it was clear and sunny,
at least on the Front Range.
In the mountains the winds were slightly
more subdued, and there was just a bit
of new snow. "Dust on crust" is the name
of this commonly known phenomenon.
Combined with the bluster and flat light,
this was not the finest day to be on the
mountain, but still alright, all-right.
General lack of color and contrast was the prevailing theme today.
A recently opened chute on the boundary,
note the "meat-sled" on the right... "just in case."
Not sure of the name of this peticular run,
but today I'd call it "Ski Grater" or "Yikes!"
or maybe, "Shit! How Did I Get Here?"
Actually, with some more snow, I'll look forward
to checking this out again, as it is pretty steep,
just like we like it. Think snowy thoughts.
We could use a few feet here at Loveland,
and mountains everywhere.
S.W.
