A three day ski weekend with my friend Arnaud is the best way to enjoy the great Sierra snow that Kirkwood has to offer. And even if El Niño is bringing us tall servings of snow this year, we lucked out and found ourselves skiing during one of the best weekend of the season so far: 3-5 feet of fresh powder for us.

I had not skied for almost a year and my legs were done by the end of that trip. Hopefully, that is a good training for my incoming half marathon.
