Powder Day

"Ooohh it's a powder day!" "Ah man, I hope my next day off is a powder day!" "You know what they say - no friends on a powder day!"

I've heard all this for three weeks now. Last night it snowed about 12-18 inches. So of course, I was psyched that I didn't have to work today and I could actually ski My First Powder Day.

What.
The.
Crap.

Skiing in powder is HARD. Hard as in I came home early and had to lay on the couch for about three hours before I would even consider moving any one of my limbs.
Call me a baby, but seriously?? I didn't expect this at all. Yesterday was great. I was really pushing myself and feeling like I was really starting to get the hang of everything. Today I felt like someone immersed me in water and said "ok now go do the same thing".

Listen, you.
It was tough. Really tough.
But I still liked it.
Or, well, loved it.
