Thankfully, a blizzard loses much of its menace on a mountain, where it achieves a purpose. Fresh powder is the skier’s ideal condition… it makes each trail feel like a new one: on almost every trip I took down the mountain, there was a pile of snow that I went through before anyone else had touched it. Powder also opens up more dangerous paths…
