Skiing season begins



We were finally able to kickoff the skiing season yesterday. The 4 of us - including Anya's parents - went to our regular place (Crystal Mountain). They'd had ~30 inches of new snow in the last few days and probably 90% of the terrain was open. The skiing was fantastic; we got knee-deep powder shots in a few places. We took a few pictures of the day.

The morning was beautiful and sunny, but by afternoon it clouded up and starting snowing. By the time we got back to Seattle it was like being in a blizzard - we got about 6" of snow overnight; the worst snow storm to hit Seattle since 1996.

With more sleet & snow in the forecast for both Seattle & Minneapolis, my trip to MN for Christmas this week is starting to look like it's in jeopardy.
