POWDER SKIING WITH DALE

I did something that I normally don't do and that is go skiing on Saturday at our local resort Lost Trail.  It is usually only open Thursday through Sunday and I ski "Powder Thursday" and then Friday or Sunday if they have new powder.  Well, our powder has been a little slim lately and there was a lot of snow forecast for Friday night so my powder skiing friend Dale and I decided to go.  Well the powder skiing was great, BUT there was only 2 inches of new snow at the resort near Missoula so that town came down here.  Saturdays are always crowded as lots of local folks come out to ski on that day and with the increase of the Missoula powder hounds it was crowded.  We know of some tree skiing that a lot of folks don't so we had a good time, but the lift lines were crazy.

These three pictures (kind of like a panoramic) show just how crowded Chair 4 was.  Click any picture to enlarge.
