Powder Hound

From Saturday afternoon through Sunday night it snowed steadily at Serfaus, but the storm didn't pack much punch with only about 4-5 inches of powder on Monday, so I didn't expect much besides softer groomers. But as is often the case in the alpine terrain of Austria, the wind had worked its magic and I managed to sniff out a bunch of surprisingly sweet lines where the snow had blown in deeper. I have to say I was pretty proud of my powder-hound nose on Monday; I turned what should have been an average day into one of the most memorable powder days of the winter! The weather forecast isn't looking favorable for a deep powder day while we're here in Serfaus so I'm extra grateful that I at least got to get a good taste of it here.
