BIG!

Monday, third day of our trip, we skied Big Sky.

No fresh snow, once again, although it was pretty cloudy most of the day. 

We took the avalanche gear, because I was really hoping we'd get to ski the BIG couloir... the one that starts from the right side of the peak.

I didn't happen. The Ancient chickened out and convinced Junior and I that it was icy. I believed him. I thought I saw big bands of ice going across the thing while we were in the tram. I t was probably just some weird shadows...

We had a good day, though. Did a few runs from the very top, the afternoon I skied with Oggy and even convinced him that he could ski the Liberty Bowl with us. Of course, at that point, he was by far the fastest on the run and after 5 turns and the Ancient and I begging for rest (and air), trash talk had started.

After a long good day, we met a friend of Oggy who had skied the Big Couloir twice and loved it. No ice by the way. Darn it! Next time, no matter what the weather is, what the snow is, I AM DOING IT!!!!

Ran back to the condo, took a quick shower and jumped in the car with Junior (5 hour drive and he was still talking...) while Oggy and the Ancient stayed for a few more days on the slope of that big mountain. I hate work.
