About five years ago, I learned about Wolf Creek, which surprised me that I had never heard of it before that with all the snow they usually get. Ever since I read about the resort in a magazine, I have wanted to go. Finally, today was the day I was able to experience it. The mountain itself is what I thought it was. Very small and flat near the base, although very steep at the top. Once you hit the middle of the mountain, you don't turn, or else you won't be able to make the bottom. They got 12 inches of snow last night and probably got another 2-5 throughout the day today.
I tried a couple new ways to film today. I think they turned out pretty well. I'm going to make a good video later this week with all the footage, but I just wanted to throw together a quick video to show everyone how good it was today. I actually stayed down near Wolf Creek, so I could ski it tomorrow. It will be the last day of the year that I ski powder.
I hope you are all jealous of the snow and the snowy beard. It actually got better as the day went on. The snowy beard will be showcased in the "real" Wolf Creek video coming later this week.

ReplyDeleteWhat do you have to say for yourself, snowy beard? What's the trick to skiing so gracefully and keeping your human host's jawline warm at the same time?
