Friday FunDay with the squeeze and pup

We woke to a great surprise on Friday morning....lots.of.snow in Kodiak proper!!  If it snowed this much here, then it must have snowed more on Pyramid to cover the ready and hungry base of snow that just needed a soft covering for good skiing!
                                     

View towards Antones Bay, blue skis coming!
Towards Antones Loop & Sharatin Mtn.


However, responsibilities first! We started our day with our movers survey...excitement but sadness all in one!  The company came over to survey our house for weight and what packing supplies they will need on the packing day.  This move is getting more real with each passing day/week/month.

After the survey we hurried to get first tracks at Pyramid.  We knew the weather forecast which was windy! with the storm finishing up in early afternoon, opening to blue skies, but due to our rush to get out there to enjoy the snow, we didn't quite receive the blue skies.  the skies were just starting to break and roll in as we were finishing up our second lap in the jibber bowl.  The wind was horrendous and the visibility at the top of the jibber bowl so we were not able to go any further (which is usually always okay for my over beating heart!).  The snow was pretty rad for Kodiak.  We had to be aggressive with our skis for the turns and moving through the slower snow, but as we made our way down the mountain, the snow only got better--which is usually not the case.
The snow was so good and the day got so beautiful that then Jason swapped places with his boss at the outdoor sporting goods shop so they could go ski and Jason could make some money (too) :)
I ran errands which included buying my half priced valentine flowers and Jason some half priced candy! :)
This day also was our first week of Lent so meatless Fridays!  It also made us realize something that we will miss while living in Utah... Halibut!   ~Shanna
