Chasing the snow
The last couple of days it has been pouring (which is great, cause that means snow on the hills), but today was nice and sunny.

I'm getting used to the though of knowing where to stay until October 23rd, and then taking it from there. I've decided to watch Art of Flight and Jeremy Jones' Higher the next days, so if I wasn't already craving for snow, I will be. The resort looks super dope. See for…
