The two lifts servicing advanced terrain were shut down in the morning due to the wind, the wind chill factor was brutal, and the snow looked liked it had been shipped out directly from the East Coast: all ice and crud. But hey, it was the first day skiing!

Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

It looks great none the less. However, a question if you don't mind? I notice that in the photo that near the bottom of the ski run it splits into two paths, with the dividing barrier being a clump of trees. Now have you noticed if the accumulated pattern of the skiers at the bottom differs as when you are observing or not? :-) As a secondary question; have you considered that there may have been some subliminal reason for you choosing this particular run? ;-)
