Snowbird today 1/08/04 TR & Pix

[Red Baron]

JayFrizzo, Altoid Brad & I met up in the morning, escaping the fog in the valley, and trading it in for what turned out to be a great day at the Bird. We met up with Liz & Gunter late in the day, and Liz took the picures I'll post here in a minute...

Leaving the tourons on the groomers, we spent most of the day out in the Chamonix Chutes, lapping super-soft snow, and the other part of the day in Powder Paradise, with a finale out in the bookends. I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

A day where we were going to "take it easy" turned into a fun, big day on the mountains, with lots of surprisingly soft & deep snow. Gotta love the Bird...
