in Nsnow, Snow
After missing a powder day with Arturo just before Xmas due to car trouble, when I saw KW was getting another foot+ just as I was flying back from France, I ended up driving my own butt to KW the day after arriving back home, using my Tesla 90D to get there, which was interesting in itself :)
I left late and arrived late as a result (13:30), but still got about 2h30 of snowboarding after a good snowfall.
While the first day was short, it was a good day:

Thanks to my friends at Pyramid Peak Properties, I was able to sleep at kirkwood while recharging my car, and another foot of nice powder fell for the next day:

This was a very good day+, glad that my Tesla 90D was able to get me there and back in the snow :) |
