I am short so it would be powder over my head!

I remember one winter on Alyeska we actually did have powder over my head at the top of one of the ski lifts.

Enjoy it! My Alaska days were Pipeline. Miss the place as it was. 1959 pre-dates even OldPenny. I hope to retire there with a view of Turnagain. (hint).
