Well, it didn't stay sunny. The Friday morning we headed up the road at 6.15 and got at the heli base at seven as planned. It was froggy, cloudy and the snow just started falling.

It was obvious to all of us that we would not be skiing. So, we had french toast for breakfast and stared outside hoping for the impossible. Once we were done eating, it had started to snow harder, sideways, it was a real blizzard. So, we drove back to town and dove into the hot tub.

It has been snowing and raining since then, continuously, endlessly, it feels. Most of our hopes are about to be poured down the drain with this ridiculous quantity of water that the winter storm is throwing down on us. But I guess deep down in our dreams, we still believe it will get sunny. Anyway, we all know those are the rules of the waiting game, either you get lucky or you don't, but it feels a little frustrating to think that we are running out of luck here. There is not much we can do about it, so, we just wait and let the days crawl by, And at night, we dream of a perfect day in that deep powder that has just fallen on the mountains around us.
