The Snowball....

....aka Me yesterday. 

TT and I spent the day at Copper Mountain checking out the absolute beauty the recent snow storms created.  The views at the top of the lifts were just stunning, breathtaking, jaw dropping.  Here's TT checking out the view off the Storm King Poma lift.  

 

We skied lots of different terrain....Copper Bowl, Union Bowl, Resolution Bowl and some cruisers.   It was exhilarating.  The snow was soft and there were hidden stashes of powder, which I felt the need to explore in detail.  Did you know if you fall into really deep powder it:

a)  doesn't hurt in the least, it's actually really comfy

b) as you land you might hear a giant "woosh" and then a mushroom cloud of powder rises and slowly settles over you like a blanket

c) it is ALOT of work to get yourself out of that comfy little spot....I had to take off both my skies, undo my poles, and then crawl like a worm on my belly to get to firmer terrain.  

d) it is just a spectacular experience!!!

Here's me after one of my snowball experiences -
