sibhusky Posted January 28 Author Report Posted January 28 (edited) Truth be told, I personally haven't had one. Now if you mean when was our last snowfall, looks like January 12. We've had days with fresh snow, but not enough to call them powder days. I've only skied my "powder skis" a few times, mostly because they had the right wax on and the terrain wanted a more flexible ski. They have yet to see what they were designed for.

sibhusky Posted January 29 Author Report Posted January 29 Day 32. Short day. Fit in a few runs before noon. My daughter and son-in-law and their dogs are arriving later so they can leave the dogs with us while they are in Japan. l 5 Quote
sibhusky Posted February 2 Author Report Posted February 2 Day 33. Took a few days off. My daughter dropped off the dogs and I'd built up a lot of exhaustion with my ski schedule then all her circus made me take 3 days off. We got some powder and it was really crowded today so I didn't last long. 4 Quote
