Sunny Sun Valley

There are some days where it is really nice to be a skier. Today was one of those days. We skied the Billy’s Bridge and Prairie Creek Loops, which were both new trails for me. Despite warmer than normal temperatures (well into the 30s in the afternoon), the snow here remains quite cold. Hard to imagine a nicer day.
