Started skinning around 10 under party cloudy skies.
Pretty amazing snow, definitely the best day for me this season. So good we went back up for a 2nd lap (daylight savings - you rock).
All near surface crusts disappeared by the time we reached the clear cut. The snow just got better the higher we went. Thanks a ton whoever put the skin track in (looks like it was put it on Saturday).
No wind and light snow fall all day. Sun disappeared completely around 11-noon and only came out for about 20 minutes again around 2:30-3. Did not observe any signs of instability and a pit from the party in front of us yielded good results. The same party confirmed the good conditions with their whoots and trails of smoke. I overheard one comment "Face shots are abundant today!"

Radka succumbing to powder fever (her first face shot ever was Friday).

Dude, you are THE photographer, fabulous pics, even without much backdrop & mellow grade. I especially like the one of the ski, skiing on the person.
Can I ask you what camera are you using??

Thanks, Jake! I am glad you like the picture of my crash ;D We are pushing our old Nikon D40 to its limits, but I got a brand new 10-20mm Sigma lens for my birthday that I like a lot.
Keep shooting photos, those are great!
