MLK Day

my family spends most of their vacations in utah, as if you didn't know. We're up here all the time. Winter mostly, summer 2nd. In the summer, we mountain bike & go to the clubhouse. In the winter, we ski. ALL DAY LONG!
If it's cold we come inside & warm up by the fire. Definitely luxury.
ANYWAYS! today is stormed with snow. You know what that means? POWDER. I usually don't get up early while i'm up here, but I got up early today. GOOD THING! Because it's freakin' snowing. A ton.
Being the first ones out on the run is seriously the biggest thrill i've ever gotten!
I haven't been the maker of first tracks since last season. I forgot how amazing it feels! When you get to the top of the run, you don't see anyone. Totally bare. NO ONE. then you go flying down & you're the one who chooses where to ski. there isn't any previous tracks because YOU'RE the first ones out there. AH! you glide so smoothly without 'cutting the edge.' There isn't any way you are obligated to go. you can choose! the run doesn't choose for you.
it seriously is like flying.
ah, i love being the first tracks of the day<3
love,
ATuck
