Pow Day in Krasnaya Poliana

 

I really enjoy skiing powder.

It was hard to believe that skiing would be anything to write home about after it rained at the top of the mountain, but sometime last night mother nature decided to drop three feet of light fluffy powder on the peaks of Krasnaya Poliana.

I was starting to get nervous about the upcoming competition, but the new snow washed away my nerves and we had a great day of skiing.  There are three great guys, originally from Vermont, who have moved permanently to Russia.  If this seems odd, come skiing in KP and you will understand.  They were kind enough to show us some of their secret stashes on the mountain and we loved every second of it.  Here’s a few photos so you can see what I’m talking about.  This place is amazing!
