Kirkwood!
December 3, 2005

After Thursday's dump of snow, I decided to drive up there and check it out.

Kirkwood it is. No shortage of snow here.

A chilly December makes for perfect powder!



my best skiing in a long time

Certainly not a lot of skiers up here this first weekend. Perfect.


After dinner & movies at my sister's, I head back down the next day. Yet another gorgeous day.

It's interesting how some people tend to forget about winter driving...every year.

Roadside view....I'd love to snowshoe up that one some day.
