Temperatures were below zero, and the wind chill was much colder.

Santa came early this year, and he must’ve got the letters I’d been sending him for months, because when I got to Cochran’s Ski Area this morning I was greeted to several inches of fresh powdery snow.

It was my first time skiing Cochran’s. I’ve never ridden a rope tow and I knew I had to try it at least once. That was an experience!
