Greetings!  My wife and I just returned from WP and had a wonderful 4 days of bluebird skiing following recent storms.  We skied Wed-Sat am after about a foot fell Monday and about 9" previous Friday.  Conditions were pretty sweet, especially Wed and Thurs.

Day 1 Winter Park

Day 2 Parsenn Bowl and the Pano Lift.  a huge expanse of mostly blue pitches (did not make it to the Cirque dang it!)

Capped Day 2 off with Outhouse and Drunken Frenchman as a tribute to my late friend-his two favorite all-time runs!

Outhouse is all bumps top to bottom with no bail out.  This shot taken from about 1/3rd way down.

This is the Trestle headwall.  Yeah, I moved pretty slow through here, but what is funny is a guy took his girl through here.  We were the only 3 on the trail and you could hear her spouting profanity at him left and right down the hill-bad move dude !!!
