We Still Love Snow...23 inches!

Yesterday morning it rained...a lot.  After dropping Cooper at his second most favorite place in Bozeman we headed out to the slopes.  It had started to snow at higher elevations outside of town, but for most of Bridger Bowl it was raining.  We love to play in snow...we hate rain.  It just isn't fun to be that wet.  The weather called for the rain to make the switch over to all snow just not quite quick enough.

Good thing Bozeman is only 15 miles away...an even better thing a new coffee shop I had not stopped at before.  The scones were the best and Bill's cinnamon bun wasn't too shabby either.  A shame we couldn't work it off on the slopes, but we made up for that today.  Almost 2 feet of new snow fell on Bridger Bowl overnight...wow!

After waking up early and dropping Coop off we discovered that Bridger was under a 1 hour delayed open...too much snow.  We thought that was pretty funny.  The morning start line had formed before 9:00 AM.  Since we are not the youngun's we headed indoors and waited until the lifts started running at 10:00 AM.  Our plan was to head to our favorite run, Avalanche Gulch until we saw that Bridger Lift was not running and the line was huge.  OK change of plan...Alpine and Powder Park had a few inches less, but still well over a foot and best of all no line!  

Enjoy....

Around noon we finally made a few runs down Avalanche's more than two feet of snow...which was amazing.  Hopefully we will be able to move in the morning and do it again.
