The snow just keeps on coming!

This week in Washington we recieved a ton of snow! For awhile I thought that winter was over and I was starting to prepare for spring climbing. Over Monday and Tuesday (Feb. 19-20) Stevens Pass received 20 inches in a 24 hour period! Unfortunatly I missed all that great snow but was able to ride on Thursday (Feb. 22). They received about 5-6 inches over night and we had some great powder turns all day. It was very crowded due to Mid-Winter break but we were still able to find untracked powder hidden in the trees. our favorite run of the day was a tree run inbetween I-5 and Lower Diamond. The snow was so steep and dry that heel edge turns would sometimes blind you from the spray. Later in the afternoon we started hitting the terrain park which ended up being a mistake as I enjured myself on a rail slide. I face planted into the rail and hurt my Coller Bone pretty bad. I thought I broke it at first but I can still use my arm so it must be OK, right?
