Many of my friends and myself say, yesterday was the best powder day for the season so far. Everyone was Wooohooooing in powder everywhere!! Snow was deep, light, soft and fast. I was dumping when I drove home like 7pm, I hope all tracks from yesterday is gone again. Weather looks much milder today. Once again, snow is deep, don’t loose your speed in powder, otherwise you will be stuck like a doodlebug.
It will be windy again tonight. Hopefully more snow falls with wind. Have a great day!
