First month of my 25 months in a row that isn't in the PNW!  I've recently moved to Calgary to do my PhD in avalanche research, so it is all a big learning experience for me out here.  We were able to get some fantastic October turns in, with it being winter in the Rockies.  It was about -5 C and snowing all day, with very light, dry powder.  There's a good crust below the freshly fallen snow, which saves your bases for the most part.  I won't go into the details of the area as I rarely see interior people on this site.  My goal is to keep the streak alive though, over the next three years..
Good one....Keep going!

That looks like a pretty nice joint!  ::)
Good luck on your studies.
