First Snow of the Season

Post by Chazz Layne » Thu Dec 23, 2010 7:56 pm

After five days of rain, I finally spotted snow on the HualapaiCam this morning. Knowing it would be gone by the afternoon, I quickly grabbed my ditch kit and a cup of coffee and we headed up the mountain.

With the exception of a lone Rhino-rider, we had the mountain to ourselves. The timing couldn't have been better - we drove up through perfect fresh powder, had time to enjoy a snow-ball fight, then watched as it all came melting down around us.

I'm going to have to buy Dani a new camera. The execution of many of her shots is just brilliant, but the little processor in her old SD1100 just can't keep up. The rest of our pictures are in the Flickr set...

That's awesome - fresh powder, and the mountain all to yourselves. :D

I think I know what Santa's bringing Dani for Christmas.... :lol:

And there might be a picture of the month for Jan '11 in that bunch :mrgreen:

Nice, Chazz! I'm looking forward to my local mountains getting a layer of that white stuff.
