1st Day on the Mountain

The first day this year was actually pretty weak. While there is plenty of snow in the Sawtooth Mountains the resorts don't have much yet.

I was actually going to skip driving all the way to Tamarack (100 miles north) since only the bunny hill was open but my co-worker Jesus convinced it was better than watching TV all day.



Jesus is still learning (what do you expect from someone from LA) and spent a lot of his day in the snow. As you can see there isn't much snow on the ground.


I spent some time on the board and on the telemarks. I remember how to alpine on the skis but the tele-turn eluded me all day. All I remember is Sol saying weight on the toes, weight on the toes. I didn't want to practice the wrong way so I did mostly alpine on them.

Overall it was a nice to be outside, there was a great sunset on the mountains. It snowed Monday night so hopefully the mountains can fully open soon.
