I almost forgot Christmas Eve

Oh yeah - it snowed 12 inches after 4pm when the lifts closed. It was a "surprise" storm and the Village was empty. Deep powder for all.

We ended up riding the gondola on the first run with 2 other guys who we skied with for the next 4 hours. It was funny because we kept ripping runs and seeing each other in the lift line so we just keep riding together all day. Its funny how it can be difficult to meet your friends on the hill or keep a group together, but we managed to take about 8 runs with 2 strangers who quickly became fun ski partners.
