All the fresh snow meant Siva decided to try skiing again, discovered that Main Lodge has a buddha bowl available with seared ahi (not bad, but not great), and that Climax was, if not exactly super-doable, at least within my skill level. The top bits are still a challenge but I think it's just a matter of convincing myself rather than skill at this point, and the rest was quite doable. Sadly did not have time to do all the other runs at the top, but that was all good given the day's time constraints.

One of Lan Lan's mom friends made it over again tonight, so we had help eating the prime rib that Chris insisted on cooking. Can't complain...
