It’s been a marvellous few days of being delayed by the storm. :-)What an amazing ski we had today!!! I might be hooked on backcountry skiing!Well-while I didn’t get to head home after the summit today, instead I got to go for another wonderful backcountry ski…and tomorrow I’m headed out again with my wonderful hosts, Sue and Bob.
