Almost out of snow

It snowed a couple of weeks ago. I decided to treat myself. I came into work early and headed up in a snow cat to pack the new snow on the jumps and dig out the rails. I finished early and was all alone with the mountain. I quickly came to the conclusion that many in my situation might come to realize. And then I did it. I …commandeered/ borrowed the mountain managers personal snowmobile and headed to the top of the mountain, snowboard attached.
I hid the snowmobile behind some bushes, strapped in, and then it happened. For about five minutes, I had transcended into heaven. The entire mountain was mine for the taking, a foot of fresh snow from top to bottom, without a single track- let alone another person- to be seen. By the time I got to the bottom they had started warming up the lifts. Before the mountain had even opened, I got four of the best runs of my life, without even seeing another person.
It was a good day for me, whats one of yours?

I have a lot to figure out, and I will take all the help I can get. This blog is an opportunity for me to share some insight, and give others a chance to do the same.
