February had been a very dry month. And while snow stability was thankfully improving, we were also gasping as our snow was dwindling fast. So, when the forecast called for a few inches of fresh, potentially more in the backcountry, that caught our attention.<\/p>\n

But, then we awoke the morning of the 23rd to nada. Nothing new had falling, not more than a dusting. We met at the Slate River trailhead, and with overcast skies and no new fresh snow, the thought of skiing was uninspiring.<\/p>\n

But, there WAS fresh snow not far away. We just had to travel a bit to get there… Monarch Pass boasted a foot and a half of fresh, and I was able to convince Alex and Eliot to join me for a day of skiing there. Talk about a huge change of plans!<\/p>\n

We got two super-riffic laps in. Deepest day of the season for sure. Conditions were absolutely blower powder. And we kept on giggling with happiness ALL day long.<\/p>\n

Pictures speak louder than words. So, here they are!<\/p>\n
