Misty Lifts

     Today was a surprise. The forecast had predicted a few centimeters, flurries no más. What we got was close to 10 cm,  which was more than enough to cover old tracks on Cara Cara and Roca Jack. Juncalillo was groomed and soft, and the two t-bars were servicing everything from fun crud to freshies off the traverses.  Rocks, affectionately known as "tiburones" here, were only a mild concern. The mountain is skiing well, and last night's storm was quite the gift.

      It's my free week, so I'll be out again tomorrow. Since it's Portillo my expectations are high. When I stumbled home around 2:30, there was plenty left unskied. As always, the only ones gunning for good snow were fellow employees and the boys from Activejunky.com. What tomorrow is unlikely to duplicate will be the ethereal blanket of clouds that hung around all morning. Juncalillo was spooky good.

Crossing over


"Yes, the road will be closed all day."


Look at the icicles
