Pork rinds delivered still crackin'. So good!

Zeus is hungry. He doesn't even like pork rinds.

Bluebird day once I finally wrapped up meetings and got out in the afternoon. Some marvelous low-hanging clouds, perfectly still, over the backside, while the top, including the normally groomed Cornice, was a mass of freshly fallen snow in its natural state. Made for one heck of a workout going down.

About the only issue was that Zeus was pretty freaked out by all the avalanche clearing. Mike and I ended up driving him around town trying to calm him down so he'd go poo, took three stops before he settled down to go on a square yard of artifical turf outside of Mammoth Brewing. Naturally since we were at Mammoth Brewing, we had to order a seasonal beer flight and some pork rinds so fresh they were still crackling.
