Loon

Today was a pretty amazing day, both riding and just being on the mountain. I woke up to see the mountains engulfed in fog. It was a pretty impressive sight, a whole mountain range gone invisible, but I can't say as I looked forward to riding in it. We got up and out pretty quick, only to learn that it was kind of misting out, which would eventually turn to rain. First couple runs were ok, kind of soft but still a bit hard packed in spots from yesterday.

The views, both on the summit and at the base, were amazing today. The fog popped the mountains out of their usual background and really gave them dimension. It also made for a different view every time I looked up, which was a welcome addition to the scenery. There was no line for any of the lifts, including the gondola, which made for a lot of runs throughout the day. After a while the rain started in on us, but the conditions got fun as the snow got mushy. I braved the backpack and took my camera up again, trying for a decent panorama which I think I got. Overall there were no injuries, which is always good, just a bit of sliding on bottoms and flipping over edges.
Here's some stuff from last night, just fooling around at 1am with some flashes and such, pardon the out of focus Tony, my camera hates low light and I think it's a funny picture .


So tomarrow we come home. I'm sure I'll have some stuff to post, for some reason long car rides usually produce a lot of interesting pictures. G'nite.
