    Resort: Leysin, Switzerland
    Date: 3/25/2004
    Temp: -8C
    Wind: Still to light
    Snow: Powder
    Sun: Cloudy

    Took a day off work for a long awaited powder day. The original plan was for G3000, but it was closed due to bad weather and avalanche warnings. Next best (closest) place was Leysin, so I met up with Al and Stephen for some non-stop powder runs. The only decent spot was the topmost run, which was fine coz it's the steepest part of the resort. 20-30cms of nice light fluffy stuff. Plently of bottomless turns and faceplants for everyone.

    You're killing me today... Nice shots... Reminds me of the fact that Tahoe has a fresh foot of snow and I'm in the office... Grrr...

    Looks like some proper powder though... Hmmm.. An ST would have been nice in that.. ;)

    Nice shots. Our season is done. No snow in sight and the mountains are hitting 60s. I rode Copper last weekend and it was a waste. Frozen chunks of snow in the AM and water ski turns in the PM. I would have been pissed but I had a free ticket. The only good part: my goggle tan is the envy of the office.:p

    Took a contract job with my cousin for the time being.. The prospect of me not having a regular job with our wedding coming up was causing my fiance' a bit of stress. She gets enough of that from her work, so I figured I'd suck it up for a bit and get a job..

    But yah, I coulda been riding today... :( Actually, it's E's fault. If he was around to ride today I would have played hookie and gone up there. So yah, it's his fault.
