AM: YEEEEFREEEKINNGHAA! WOW!  About time Snowbasin had a proper powder day. Now I remember why I arranged my life around the ski season. Hate to admit it, but I've had an anxious energy all winter that has left me in a bit if a funk that I couldn't really figure out.  Gone. Shook it all off by 3/4 of the way down to first run. Untracked and over the top all day long. I know it's pathetic to let something like lack of a ski season affect me so much, but I guess it did.....I feel completely different than I did 24 hours ago.

Skied and hiked hard non-stop from 9-4. High speed lifts and no line meant tons of vertical and a glorious, hazy exhaustion.  Rough guess at the vertical descent is 30,000 ft. Probably totaled a good hour of hard hiking. Snowed most of the day, sun broke out  for a couple toward the end.

PM: Got in a good 45 minute jog with heavy legs on the freshly snow coverd trails.  Hoping tomorrow is a repeat of today.....
