Got out of work early so I rushed up the canyon for a ski girl group meet-up at Brighton, but was the only one to show up :(

I headed up alone and at the top a cat driver got out of his cat (and I thought he was going to yell at me), which he sort of did because he told me that I should not be skiing alone and that he has been seeing a mountain lion in these parts the last few days and he was worried that I would get eaten. I saw Jake and Andrea on the way down and warned them about the couger, but I am pretty sure the mountain lion would be disappointed if he tried to eat them!

I shook of his concern and headed up for a second lap. On my first trip up I took a little detour under the lift and through the woods and found myself on the same route the second time up except this time I saw gigantic paw prints following my first set of tracks. The prints looked more canine than feline, but whatever it was obviously followed my tracks so I ripped off my skins and was headed down the mountain approximately 15 seconds later. 

My life is too fun now to risk getting eaten!

Did you ever text us to let us know you survived? I guess I just went to sleep figuring you would have called if you got attacked and were probably OK :-)

I put a snow leopard sticker on my helmet last night, which should show the big cats I'm on their side (sort of like I did w/ the wolf sticker on my jeep). The major predators know we are friends, not foes.

I let Andrea know, but her phone was probably dead :)

Wait, so Dynafit = snow leopard?!?
