In what was beginning to seem like an eternity without precipitation, Skadi, llr and the rest of the snow gods and goddesses blessed the region with a solid two days of the white stuff, or the wet stuff if you were stuck in town. While many people found their way to Wolf Creek or Purgatory, happy to wait in line for their turn to take some turns, many kept going up, up, up into the high country for a bit of freedom and frolicking in more than 4 feet of fresh powder. And with many parts of the country experiencing rather serious drought conditions, last weekends storm was truly a blessing.
