Madonna and luck

I am talking about the mountain, not the singer. The lift up Madonna at Smugglers Notch was closed yesterday due to wind. It opened today and it was powder skiing most of the day. Not a lot of people skiing with most of the chairs going up empty. The mountains probably got 4 inches of snow each of the last 3 days. The base is still thin but with 8+ inches of nice powder who cares? I went in the woods in a number of places and it was good. Some stumps and sticks sticking up here and there but mostly visible and I didn't have any problems. One of those days that far exceeded expectations.
