This morning the headline in the local newspaper was unfortunately another avalanche that claimed the lives of 2 skiers in the back country. The number of avalanches is increasing on a daily basis. The back country is really off-limits. It was a blue-bird type of morning along with mild temps. I took Benny for a walk to try and find his ball which he lost in a snow bank. He has developed a white snow nose looking for it along the walkway that needs to be plowed.

We took a chance that the weekend crowds would be leaving early so we went to Copper Mtn. It was a great day and the crowds did leave. Can't wait to get an early start tomorrow.
