BIG powder...

(...why did I think that I could tele ski in that??)

well got back from our "back country" (read: front country cleverly disguised by the several feet of powder and no visibility) trip and we had a great time. Spent many hours "training", hiking and getting ready for our one big back country powder run so I was quite disappointed in myself that I pretty much slide down the slope and experienced several deep faceplants along the way - to my credit I had been convinced to borrow some extra long rental "real tele" skiis that were incredibly awkward to ski on (stupid nerdy non-tele skier rental guy). (sigh) oh well, live and learn eh?

Regardless of my backcountry failure run, and my subsequent frustration, I had such a great time and can't wait to give it a try again some time soon. I could be addicted...(now if only I could stay upright in powder).
