6 Feb 2018- ALabama Gang Rips it up

                                         Wade and Davis try to determine where to go next!
                                             Break time
 Just outside our condo, steam rising from the heated pool, ski runs in the background, we're on our way to the lifts.
 Early morning walk to the lift finds us over dressed--expected it to be much colder--must remove at least one layer.
                                                   Lift lines  grow, everyone wants to be first on the mountain.
                                                             Toms overdressed!
                                  No need for a gator this morning.
                     The TV announcer was encouraging folks to call in sick this morning and come out and enjoy the fresh powder.
  15 inches of fresh snow in the past 24 hours, and we are trying to learn how to ski in powder, it leads to some surprising results.  We all wanted to try powder, but how we are ready for groomed slopes.  Powder turns are so different and use additional muscles( some that have not been exercised in a loooooong time).  First run of the morning is beautiful, the powder has covered all the imperfections, the trees bowing down with the weight of  overnight snow, moisture in the air looks like cut crystal  as the sun reflects off it, your lungs give you a bit of warning as you breath deeply of the cold morning air and you give thanks to God for his creation and the good health that allows you to enjoy his majesty.  We have been blessed with 24 inches of snow since the arrival of the Alabama Gan, so Keystone should pay us for bringing the snow.
