Powder day...

So last night I went to a party at the staff bar across the street for the rookie ski instructors. It was a great time and I found out the story behind the Hunter Mnt. poster. The head of the ski school here is from upstate New York and grew up skiing Hunter. He even told me that Hunter made all of the snow making equipment that they use here in Portillo, though after today I have no idea why they need it. I will be honest, as I woke up Tuesday morning I wasn`t the most excited I`ve ever been as the skiing was sub par and I thought to myself, "I`ve got 5 more days of this?" Meaning I wasn`t too excited to ski. Well yesterday was obviously great but it snowed all night and this morning we had 15 inches of freash powder and it was a Bluebird!!!(that means a day were the sky is as blue as you`ve seen it and there`s not a cloud in the sky). I swapped my rentals for some powder boards (in deep snow it`s better to have long fat skis to help keep you "floating" on top. I need to preface this story with somehting I haven`t shared yet. The mountain here is only for guests who stay a week, they are not currently selling day passes. Furthermore it is their winter break right now so there are a lot of families with little kids here. This translates into a mountain where I have literally not seen one lift line, and I can ski fresh powder, come back later and only my tracks are there. It`s amazing. There were places where the powder was waist deep, oh and they`re forecasting 30-60 cm. more for tomorrow and Saturday, looks like I may need to spend an extra day or two here. Anyway, the point of the story is that I can honestly say that today was the best day of skiing I have ever had in my entire life, and it`s only supposed to get better. I have some great pics to share but unfortunately somehting is wrong with my card reader and I can`t upload them. I hope this finds you all well!!!!
