We’re halfway through our road trip through several of the Powder Alliance resorts.
People say “The grass is always greener on the other side.”
Ever since I started skiing I’ve known that nature’s fickle forecast weights any travel decision with risk.
My first year skiing the mountain got dumped on while I was taking finals.
I spent the next spring break in dry, sunny California watching the snow pile up at home.
I got home and skied dust on crust.
No matter where I go it will be snowing more somewhere else.
I used to obsess over it, trying to plan my trips and skiing around predicted snowfall.
Now I take a stab at just let it go.
As we embark on this road trip we’ll be spending 9 days away from my home resort.
We’re skiers though, not gaper tourists.
Cossacks are fun just about anywhere and low snowpack just makes the cliffs bigger.
Don’t spend your life checking other resorts' websites and agonizing over dew points and snow-line altitudes.
We’re skiers, we are blessed as it is with our time in the mountains.
