Snowglobe day

We left sunshine at home just 10 miles away and entered into a snow globe in the Valley today! The snow fall amounts haven't been major lately but certainly enough to cover the trail and make for some "quiet" skiing on the hill. So far today, everything was going smoothly until I realized that I had forgotten our tickets in the car. Much to the kids dismay, we had to head back to lot 7. Luckily the trolley appeared. The friendly crew brought us to the car and then back to the base. My kids love the trolley so there was absolutely no complaining about the loss of ski time. Now as for the skiing, it was great! Despite the snow swirling around our heads, we skied for 4 1/2 hours. After one quick hot chocolate and snack break at Sunnyside Timberlodge, we were on the hill again. Wherever we went, we never had to wait in a line. As usual the lift attendants were so attentive and helpful with the girls. Sometimes we would be the only ones on trail. Who doesn't love to have the trail to themself? We enjoyed packed powder conditions and discovered plenty of fluff on the edges from yesterday's and today's snowfall. Hope everyone else enjoyed the day!
