30 Dec 2010 - Sunrise

We woke up to a beautiful sunrise this morning. Snow was predicted but has not yet hit Summit County.

11 Dec 2010 - Copper Mtn

Copper got about 1' of new powder before the opening this morning and it is still snowing. Helen hit the slopes at the opening for fresh tracks. I am sitting Jacks watching. I skied Tuesday and then had (already scheduled) a gel injection in my knee which hopefully will make hiking easier when we get to Chile & Patagonia in mid-Jan. It takes about 6 weeks to kick in fully and the doctor suggested that I don't ski for a few days.

Today is the finals for the US Halfpipe Grand Prix at Copper. I am sitting inside so I can view the event in case they ever get the snow cleared off the half pipe.
