Indeed, one of the nicer ski days of the year. Did a tour of some of the backcountry trails starting from P7. Skyline(6), Pleasant Valley(34), Upper Sparks(22), Western(9) - then a slight deviation on the Camp Fortune race trails before continuing along Merry go Round(11), Franks(17) and finally Highland(8). Only got to break out one small section of 34 owing to my late start but the rest of the trails had only seen a half dozen or so skiers so still some fresh powder to be had. The groomed runs were pretty sweet as well. A little soft owing to the amount of fresh snow but still nice! Likely they had been groomed this morning so will set up firmer over night. The race course had been regroomed and the rugged classic track I saw last time through was now perfect thanks to having some snow to work with.

Thought I'd missed my chance this season but the snow gods are gracious and allowed this Ukrainian boy a chance today to do the Highland Fling... and for that I am grateful. Found one rock at the top of the first big drop (it was hiding in the fresh snow but I found it ;) but with that hills name perhaps it should be "on the rocks" after all...
