Blue bird powder day ....

This posting comes from the lovely GEG airport (leaving the snow for a few days to hit the beaches of Vieques!!)  ... I have dropped off the latest house guests:  Banks, Lynn and Raisa, Jen.. and they are all on their way back to DC.  Old friends, new friends ... just a wonderful time.  One of the best quotes of the time spent "is there an alcohol lounge on the slopes?"  This is what happens when the Russian mafia comes to north Idaho! 

Here are multiples of the "blue bird powder day" this past Monday ... spent the afternoon skiing / tearing up the pow-pow with Papa French.  Awesomeness.

Papa French down Australia!

Floating on the clouds .. Winter heaven!

It's unclear what he is pointing at - but the cloud wrap turned out to be way cool

A look down Great Escape / Divide

Dad and I .. soaking up the sun, burning through the powder

The infamous Chair 6 ... aka Snow Ghost

Man-made moguls ... sweet, sweet skiers (go away snow boarders!!)

All day skiing on Chair 6 = leg cramps and the best tasting beer - EVER!
