Since quite a few people had already poached Northstar, we took Frolic over to Vagabond for another run of first tracks. How many times do you get two first track runs on a really nice powder day? We left at the first hint of a lift line, besides Tom has skied my butt off theses past few days and I got tired real quick. I took my second and third falls of the season today. One on the top of Mouse Trap when I skied face first into a 4 foot drift - I had sweated up my googles by that time and couldn't see a god damn thing. The second on Interceptor when I turned across the hill directly into the side of a huge rock that was buried in the snow and just fell over. Oddity of the Day?
