I can't find my knees

I can't find my knees because I'm buried in snow! In the last 24 hours we have received 46cm of snow. Our base is now 115cm. It has been a fantastic opening week.

It started on Tuesday, opening day, when we got another 24cm and we only had 2 lifts and 10 runs open. Then two days later on Thursday the Comet, the 6 person high speed lift, opened along with more terrain. Basically at this point the main, front side of the mountain was open. Then along came more snow and today we opened up the whole backside of the mountain, including my lift the Powder Gultch and all of its ridiculous powder and advanced terrain. Tomorrow we open the Silver Woods express to access the lower part of the mountain and all the great glade skiing, then Tuesday we will be fully operational when the Alpine Meadows opens to access Attridge. So within a week we went from 65cm base and 10 runs to 115cm+ base and all runs open. I love Okanagan weather.

The only downside of the 46cm we just received........I didn't get to ski it. I was working today. Booooo. Oh well, more snow will come that I can ski. Although, yesterday I wasn't working and I got to ski about 15cm of powder that was absolutely fantastic. So smooth.

Oh, we have new roommates. There was another room with 2 couples and one couple snored like a rusty bulldozer, and the other was sick. So they really didn't get along when the sick couple couldn't sleep at all because of the snorers. So our roommates, one of them snores like a chainsaw, moved in with the loud snoring people and we got the other roommates. One is from Chile and the other is from England. They are great people who are friendly and easy to get along with. They are also both ski instructors....and I'm getting free lessons. I'm going to get some Freestyle lessons so I can keep up with Mark :)

I have some fantastic pictures from the top of the hill when it's sunny and clear. But.....I don't have my camera on me so I'll get it later and post them.

I love snow.

Talk to y'all later.
