Sunny day

I can not get enough of these sunny weekend days at the mountain. The only thing better is when it snows. I was skiing with a group today so in the morning we split our time between sunny side and the north side of the mountain. We had absolutely no complaints about the snow quality; the trails were in great condition.
I did not take as many runs today as I usually do because I also wanted to spend time watching two of the events that were going on. The first I wanted to see was the Red Bull Snake run. The set up for this event was great, as a spectator I was able to see just about the whole course from the top of the run. As soon as they made the event a jam format and started to send the competitors in rapid fire it became very interesting. I did not see the finals but the awards looked awesome.
The other event I took time to watch on the other side of the mountain was the PSU Regional Race. Today was the slalom race and was fun to watch. I come from a racing background so I can appreciate the technical aspects of slalom racing plus it did not hurt that the finish line was just sitting in the sun.
All in all it was a great day and I am looking forward to another day on the mountain. See you out there.
