We lost an hour overnight as the genius of phase shifting the clock kicks in for another season. I wish they would just leave it alone. We took advantage of the lost hour by losing it last week and then not getting up this morning.
We are going to celebrate by skiing. The weather has been questionable and rain was forecast for today.The rain has not materialized and so we are heading to Mt. Spokane and not getting a shut out for the season.
6:50 PM, PDT: You cannot imagine the scope of the conspiracy that took place on our ski trip today. It is the giant weather conspiracy that exists to prevent us from skiing this season.
For the record, we have not been shut out. We skied. The speed with which the weather turned from a nice day to shit was in direct proportion to our placement in relationship to the ski area.
While we slept in to compensate for the lost hour, the skiing was excellent. There was just a hint of fog kissing the crest of the mountain when we left the house.
When we arrived, the fog was a bit lower but conditions still looked good. On our first trip up the lift, the snow started to gently fall. The first run was fine but the wind had come up so it was a little chilly.
Our second and last run down the hill was enveloped in fog, the wind was blowing and the snow had turned into little darts that burned your face.
We left $71 dollars up there and got in two and half runs.
That was an expensive day.
We got home around 4 and unloaded the car under bright warm sunshine.
