Conditions: Powder, chopped powder, and fresh virgin untracked powder.
Report: Today we had bit of trouble deciding where to go. Originally I had planned on Powder Mountain, but this morning when I checked the report, I saw that Powder Mtn had gotten 14 " while Alta had gotten 26". Normally, I'd run right for Alta, but decided to stick with the plans and go to Powder, we weren't dissappointed. Powder is a really nice mountain, and big, 5500 acres!! If we got to see 1000, that was a lot. Overall there was plenty of fresh powder all over the place. The little bit of the mountain we got to see had a lot of chopped up powder, but it was still a pleasure skiing in this stuff.
The highlight of this trip was our first experience with cat skiing, what a @#%!ing blast! First cat didnt' start running until later in the day, guess about 11. We missed the first one, but were the first people in line for the second trip up. Damn, it was a real pleasure when we got to the top and saw nothing but virgin powder with very few if any lines. I believe the area the cat takes you to is about 500 acres, there were only 17 people on the cat before us. We hit that powder, it was easily 2 feet deep and untouched, soft, dry, Utah powder. Vee finally got her powder skis mounted (K2 Phat Luvs) this morning, so this was her first chance to try them out. Damn, girl couldn't find finer powder to try them on. She had a grin from ear to ear. Here's some pics:

Vee enjoying her new K2's, 2 feet of snow and no trouble seeing them. Take my word for it, there is a huge smile hidden in there:

Look ma, no tracks!
