Eldora, after a dry spell of about as long as I've been in town, got a pile of snow last night. The skiing today was simply incredible. For some reason, nobody was up there, despite the fact that vacation's still on for everyone, and I was getting unbroken lines until noon. That plus the fact that the eight inches they got was multiplied in the trees by some strong wind, and the snow seemed to be several feet deep in places.
Every year, there's one day that really stands out. Last year it was a day skiing up at Saddleback in Maine, the year before that, it was up at Copper. This year, it was today--or at least, it would be hard for me to get a better day in since my ski season will be over when I go back to Peru next week.
Eldora's not a big mountain, but I've had more great days up there, I think, than I have at any other place. Of course, it doesn't hurt that it's 25 minutes away...
