Jan. 1-4, 2004, Crystal Northback/Southback

;DSounds like everyone is having an epic start for the new year.  That's great!  All this fantastic snow in our own backyards...literally.  Both north and south back were awesome.  Face shots on demand.  Was so cold that the bowls in south had crystals gleaming (just like the mag adds describing the pow in the rockies).  Could not help to notice the free refills as my tracks collapsed behind me.  North was more of the same only more tree runs.  Only regret was not bringing my burton fish to ride.  Only concern was the occasional sluffs up to 30 inches that would follow you thru the tree riddled chutes in northback.  Falling was not an option.  Sunday was the best day for sure though.  The sun came out, knee to thigh deep (for me since I am vertically challenged at 5'7'').  It's a shame that I have to return to that thing called work.
