Livin' The Dream

The next time someone asks me why I went into nursing, I think I'll tell them that I did it because I like to ski. It's a job where you only have to work 3 days a week, and you can work a night shift and then ski the next day. Thanks to my schedule, I've been up to the hill 6 times in the last 2 weeks.

We all heard about the storm that was coming in yesterday, and as the flakes were falling at the hospital, I was keeping my eye on Snowbird's snow report. Around 1:00 AM, with 9" new and no signs of stopping, I decided that it was going to be a day that I could not miss.

The alarm clock went off after 4 hours of sleep, and a quick check of Snowbird's web page showed 16 new inches. It was on.

Today was one of those days where the snow was no nice, you could ski anything. It didn't matter how steep the slope was. It didn't matter how tight the trees were. It didn't matter how many people had been on that particular run. The snow was just great.

I didn't take any pictures today because there's no time for pictures on a powder day, but here is a shot from Snowbird's webpage to give you an idea of the kind of day it was:



Think Snow!

Winter Fun

Now that a few storms have rolled through, I can post pictures of two of my favorite things: Snow and Mountains
