Each fall we sit and wonder when the snow will come.  Will we have a powder day on Thanksgiving or have to wait until later in the season?  Every year is different and I suppose that’s good, we don’t get complaisant.  If you wait until the snow flies to start getting in shape for skiing the pain and suffering will be too much. 

The weekend storm was perfect for packing (translation - heavy, moisture laden snow).  Dogs and groomers love this type of snow, skiers put up with it because it makes a great base for the rest of the year!  We cavorted all weekend; fine tuned our turns, and settled in to the rhythm of another season.
