I have to Post Today. It was unbelievable. It started out with elaborate discussions about God & Religion on the 45 minute drive to Keystone. Why Keystone when it's not even on the itinerary? Well the Nerve Center (James in this case) was on the web by 5:45AM this morning and he learned that the designated itinerary resort (Beaver Creek in this case) was reporting 0" this morning while Vail was reporting 2" and Keystone was reporting 6". Well clearly we had no option - it had to be Keystone. Well the 6" was fabulous and the true atheists among us (Ken and I) found God. It was enough that we had to change the title of the Blog. It's now Ken and Dan's Excellent POWDER Adventure. The GLADED terrain today was UNBELIEVABLE - and part of that gladed terrain was labeled Unpatrolled and Unmaintained - ergo the title of today's Post. I've never seen a mountain that you could ski just about anywhere as James' slide shows will demonstrate. Actually we have to give a bit of credit to Ken for his shooting of James' runs. This was definitely the kind of day I was imagining the whole time we were planning for this trip. So I'm certainly hoping for more in the next 18 or so days. Of course James is watching the weather for us and assures me we have a powder day in store for us Thursday.
Becky informed me that I needed to open up the blog to anonymous comments. So I looked and of course she was right. So I fixed that and you anonymous folks out there can comment now.
I think I can honestly say that this was the best day of skiing that I ever had. I hope I can say that again as we continue on this adventure but if not I'm not sure that I could complain.

You're sounding like Loco....Best Ever! Sure, sure, until the next great powder day! You guys are on the forefront of a new "older" male lifestyle...geriatric ski bums! Sara said she was very impressed with the blog but that you all looked old. I know, it hurts. (james, you are exonerated here...you don't fit the mold but are obviously a great addition to the trip!)
Hey Pope Beckster! I didn't say "old"- I said "TIRED". Stay hydrated out there!
Mantra for gladers: See the white... see the white... see the white... avoid the trees! Glad to see you guys are wearing your helmets!
