Fresh tracks, originally uploaded by enderMC.

Day 7: P, Annie and I made our way to Kirkwood on Saturday in a small break in the stormy weather we’ve been having the past week. We found moderate wind and blue skies when we got there which was great but the best thing of all were the fresh tracks we were able to make down some of the Cornice runs. I joyfully ate it 3 times in the deep powder on my first run down. Haha. Well worth it.

On a side note: Acuras in San Francisco are pretty unsafe places to leave valuables. The stock alarm – useless. Last week, I had to bid farewell to my little camera, my Timbuk2 bag, my laptop, my sunglasses, my old Ipod, my ski jacket, my CDs and my groceries. But at least I still have my car… so thanks for that and thanks for leaving my ski poles but I hate you for taking my animal crackers.

Day 5: Aileen, Thi and I hit the slopes at Kirkwood last Saturday. My fifth day of skiing felt good. The weather was great (a no-jacket day) but the snow was only mediocre (moderately icy). Groomed runs made for some nice high speed skiing but the bottom of the cornices felt like landing on concrete. Watching Nancy slide down an icy double black unable to stop was the highlight of my day. Oh and how could i forget: Henry and David’s synchronized stretching session.
