The Santa Rosa is Coming!!!
What a day.
The buzz started last night when the hotel posted a letter to all the guests stating that all forecast models are calling for a storm of epic proportions. One which will begin tomorrow afternoon and stop sometime this weekend. The storm is expected to produce snow accumulations of 85 to 200 centimeters.
I think that converts to about, oh, I don`t know, HOLY SHIT!
About a third of the guests have left already, with many more bailing tomorrow am, as the staff expects the road to be closed until at least sometime on Saturday.
Tim is staying. Someone else may have to cut the grass. He gets the gold once again. Good thing for his medal count we`re not hiking.
More terrain opened today. Downhill of the Roca Jack. The run of the day was L'Estudia, which is actually the bottom of the Super C. We were taking the high traverse, set by a UVM student working the front desk this winter, to gain mucho mas vert. The snow was unreal. I know this valley is magical, but I am now convinced that it is full of snow faries who fill in your tracks while you ride the lift. We could not find a touched line. And we were skiing the same run all day. No lunch. Just pow til we couldn`t stand up.
Oh yah. Paul is working on his backflip. We figure it`s just like a front flip, only backwards. We`re getting video. He`s almost there.
