I woke up this morning to a foot of light density snow outside of the garage door. Driving to Mountain Athlete at 5:50 a.m. was challenging with the limited plowing that had occured at that hour.

After teaching snowboarding to a father and son team from GA in the afternoon I was able to walk on to the Tram and had my first ride in the new big red box. It was maybe half full of folks and was a treat to be whisked up the 4, 139′ to the top of Rendesvous Mountain in about 10 minutes. The snow on the nountain was exceptional, in both depth and quality (lightness). My 164 Rome Flag was much too small for the conditions, but considering I snuck this tram lap in after work and used the eqiupment that I had I was not complaining.

Teaching folks is fun and rewarding. Snowboarding has been such a wonderful gift in my lfie and I am thrilled to share it with others.

Let it snow!
