remember this day in august

The storm system seemed to be moving out on Sunday, as evidenced by the fact that it was so windy.  A and M did their Dimple Dell loop under overcast skies, mid-high 30s and blustery.  The temperature was decent - not so cold as to get cold, but cool enough not to get hot - but I'm just not a fan of the wind.  We chatted briefly with another dog walker whom we recognize, commiserating about the chill of the wind and she said, "we should remember this day in August," when we're sweltering and begging for a cloud.  Wise words.

There were naps

After our walk, we vacuumed the whole house and cleaned the kitchen, finally remembered to water the plants, caught up with friends via text, did more laundry and made chocolate chip scones.  And finished another library book.  Perhaps not quite as productive as some of our days but hey, we did vacuum.

Backside open for business

Up at Alta, with another six inches bringing the storm total to 42-43", H had another pretty good day.  Not quite as good as Saturday, but still.  It was windy and the light was totally flat but ski patrol got the Backside open.  The snow there was thigh-deep and when he skied it, it puffed up over his head on the turns.  It wasn't blower pow, so it was a bit of a workout, but for those who like to ski it deep, it was skiing deep.
