Sugarbowl Pow

Another Sierra storm dumped a few feet of fresh powder on the mountains over the past few days.  We battled a closed Interstate 80 yesterday morning, sat on the side of the road in Colfax for about an hour, to be rewarded with 24″ to 28″ of nice pow (well, pretty heavy powder, but a lot of fun all the same).  Five hours to make it to Sugarbowl and about four-and-a-half to get home, a lot of driving for a day’s skiing but well worth having the mountain almost to ourselves as everyone else was watching the New York Giants take down the almost-perfect-season New England Patriots.
