Granted, 99% of today didn’t look like this (see story for proof). However, it did feel like this all day! Spent the full day playing in the snow! On a beautiful mountain! With perfect conditions! And with great people! And even got a handful of turns in!! What more could you ask for?! W/@rwdarlow and @blakekeogh
