After the Pineapple

After a week long deluge of rain and warmth it's finally cooling off here on Kodiak. Yesterday when I went skiing there was 4-5 inches of powder at the pass (bottom photo - that's the road to Anton Larsen Bay), but it rained all day. Today it froze up high and got glorious. I met Gregg up on top and we treated ourselves to what Gregg termed 'the first spring skiing of the year'. He remembers that last year we first had the same sort of conditions on President's day in February. Guess it's a little early this year. I must admit I was a little worried by the ice up on top as we rattled our way over to the lip of the south bowl. But once we dropped in and got onto the sun warmed slope it was all corn - hero snow.
