Today was day one for the Waist Deep Event. We all woke up and early, met the guides, learned all about the safety on the mountain, then shredded pow!! The snow was amazing, we had gotten about 10 inches of fresh, on top of the other fresh the received before we got here. So it was bottom-less. I am going to let the photos do the talking for me! Enjoy
