8 Mile Road Ski Trip January 15, 2008

This road is so much fun when the snow conditions are right. Fresh powdery snow keeps us from going too fast. There have already been a few small avalanches on this road, but no danger of that on this day. We were able to ski up out of the clouds for another nice sunny day.
