What a day

This is essentially what a bluebird day in eastern Washington looks like. I'm typically a groomers kinda gal, but sometimes, you've just gotta get off the beaten path, and that is exactly what Sara and I did yesterday. Admittedly, it may not have been my brightest idea to just up and decide "Let's go ski this trail in the woods that we have no clue where it leads to!" But alas, into the woods we went. Me, on a slalom ski, probably the second dumb idea of the afternoon.

I fell, a considerable number of times, but thanks to the soft snow none of them too dangerous. Other than the one where I got a tad too close to a tree. Some of my falls were more like sit downs, or ski into ledges. I'm not really sure what to call them. Decide for yourself.

Despite how stuck I was, just look at how blue the sky was! We were skiing down a gully and had these gorgeous views. There was a natural half pipe, weird how nature just makes things like that on its own.

All in all, we spent about an hour getting down this run. Not something I would have done normally, but challenges are good.

This is why I'm a geology major.
