Today was one of those days that really brings meaning to why we all choose to live in a place where you sometimes have to plow or shovel your driveway two or even three times in the same day. 

Of course, the reason why we're plowing our driveways is so that we can make up to the mountain to get our share of what can only be described as the "lightest snow ever!!"  It was if the gods were above us having a pillow fight.  We woke up on Saturday to massive amounts of white fluffy stuff with seemingly no end in sight.  

Friday was my first day back after a week in Philly.  I know, I know, I missed the epic Christmas Day.  I KNOW! 

Anyhow, back to Friday.  We started the day early with a run up to Powder Mountain after tanking up at the local coffee shop, Eden Coffee Company.  If you haven't been there and you've been to the valley then you must not drink coffee.  If you do, then just follow your nose to our favorite morning hangout where you can get your favorite coffee drink, some gourmet candy bars and a quick read of our local papers.

After hitting the coffeeshop we made our way up Powder Mountain road for a great day of powder left overs. 

Ogden Valley skiers and boarders must have been very, very good this year because Santa sent them the best Christmas present ever - over a foot of new snow along with blue sky and a full moon. It just doesn't get any better then this. I would guess this perfect Christmas storm only arrives every 10-15 years!

We believe it is worth waiting for REAL snow and it has finally come!  Over the past 3 days, Powder Mountain has received about 3 feet of snow.

Everyone on the slopes today has a big smile on their face.
