"Sick" Day

This is Dan. Aranne has said that I don't add to the blog enough so this is a topic I can input on. So the back story is the for the past week or so the Las Vegas area(including the nearby mountains) have been getting quite a bit of rain/snow. The snow reports have said in the past 7 days the mountain has received over 30" of new snow. That's right 30". So Aranne and I were trying really hard to find some time to break away long enough to experience all this wonderful bounty. We knew that if we waited till the weekend the pure, untapped goodness would be ruined. So we were practically forced to take a day off today. We had no other choice than to feel a little under the weather this morning. I have to say it was well worth it.

Today we were able to experience some of the new toys and equipment we have been waiting to use. First off, the 4Runner. It was required to have either 4 wheel drive or chains. 4 wheel drive is so much easier than chains. It was also nice to pull up to the resort looking like we belong. Instead of our little black Honda hatchback. Second, the snowboard roof rack clamps I bought Aranne for her birthday. They are so easy to open and slide in your boards. Much easier then sliding into the back of the aforementioned Honda.

To wrap the day up, it was amazing. Perfect powder throughout the park. Additionally there was not that many people there on a Tuesday. (Some of us have to work) We are looking forward to the next time we can get up there to do it all over again.
