What is better than a blue bird pow day in Colorado?

Is there any thing better than a blue bird powder day in Colorado? I think not! if you ever have the chance to go and shred a pow day in Colorado with a blue bird sky you should definitely go out there and give it a shot. When you wake up in the morning when it just dumped in Colorado you see the mountains pop up over the mountains and you can see your breath it is so cold. When the sky has no clouds in it and the sun is just bright and you can see every thing you don't half to guess where all the unmarked obstacles. When one thing that helps on a bluebird day is to wear no face mask and get a narly goggle tan. This will make you look like you have been getting down skiing. It is one of the best feelings in the world to just rip threw some deep powder that just flows over you and all you can do is laugh and have the best time of your life. Even if you fall so hard that you think you will get hurt but it is just fun and it feels like you are falling in a pillow. Then when you get up out of the deep powder you just look up to see what happened and a huge smile just breaks on to your face and you just laugh. Or when you hit a jump and then you land the powder just explodes around you and you just have that awesome feeling of just popping out of that powder and just keep riding. But when that powder is gone it is a sad sight but don't you worry if we all pray to the snow gods and maybe burn some old skis for the Uller God so we can get some more fresh powder.  
  But even when there is no sun out and it is dumping that is also a wonderful feeling it is like magic when you see all those snow flakes falling every where and it is starting to pile up the powder. It is truly magical when it snows to me it is one of the best thing that i can see when i walk out my door. And when you are in the backcountry it is so quite and so peaceful that it is the best thing in the world all the  trees collect snow and it makes the best scene ever. But if you go to Colorado Mountain College, And if you live here you will see all the snow and scenes of the mountains that you will remember forever. You walk out your door and all the snow is pilled up on your car and you have to wipe off all the snow. And you just turn your defrost on all the way and drink your hot coffee while you drive to the mountain and just ready to go shred. If you have never skied Colorado champagne powder you better get out here because it is the best thing ever and like warren miller says " if you don't do it this year you will be one year older when you do".
