If you believe in any form of a Heaven -- I swear that we were there today. Think of taking the stretch of Sierra Nevada mountains from Sugar Bowl to Anderson Peak to Tinker Knob and then scooping up all of Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows and continuing right on past Twin Peaks and through Blackwood Canyon and down to Homewood. Now think if that stretch had ZERO trees on it and how differently you'd ride each and every feature and spine and chute and cornice and headwall between those four ski resorts and all the downright delicious backcountry terrain in between. Then put it all on steroids. And quite often we're talking A LOT of steroids. Chute 75? Munchkins? The Palisades? How 'bout all three in the SAME run.......twice over......and only a dozen other people you have to share it with.....oh yeah.....and you have a helicopter as your private chair lift?!

Be on the lookout for tomorrow's post as I finally got my V.I.O. helmet cam situation straightened out and am planning on going out with it today....
And happy April 20th for those counting!
