It's been snowing here for two days now! FINALLY! This winter has been cold and dry so far, the meteorologists in Denver have been calling for a heavy march snow. So maybe this is an early beginning or something. There are several trains of thought out here when it comes to a good powder snow.First you have the newbie, college grad, recent resident of the valley, or ski bum...etc.
"Dude, FRESHY POW POW! We gotta get to the slopes ASAP! Let's get to the slopes early so we get fresh tracks, then stay all day to hunt for freshies!........
Next you have the "old timers", residents of the valley for a 8-10 years+ Those who have seen enough snow in their lifetime to bury a sky scraper....or two.
"Nice!, Fresh snow, sleep in a bit, then we'll head out into the back country for some snow shoeing/x-country skiing. Fresh tracks all day, and sweet, quiet, solitude.
Then you have me....
Sweet!, it's snowing. What do I want to do today? Hmmm, I think I will ride my bike in the garage for a couple hours then relax and have a beer while watching the ILLINI game.
