Day 2

This is the view Mommy had from Copper's High Alpine. At above 12,000 feet the view is amazing and the runs demand respect. There was only one black diamond that I intended to do, but since that run was closed, I had 3 double black diamonds to choose from...GREAT! I really do try and avoid those (notice the snowboarders stalling the inevitable, as did I). It's not that I can't make it down, just not with the usual slope style and grace that makes working the mountain so much more fun!

Well there was only one way down, so I got quite the workout and am here to tell about it. Oh, as for style and grace? I told them they were on their own. However, we did reunite at the Ptarmigan and continued on through Fair Play, which were the most euphoric runs! Now I feel vindicated;-)
