I LOVE THE SOUND OF BLASTING IN THE MORNING...

20 September 1999

I love the sound of blasting in the morning.  It smells of.powder.   Not 'Apocalypse Snow' - just the way I feel.  But how frustrating to see a mountain of untouched powder and not get to ski because it hasn't been blasted? 

It's easy to forget that someone, namely the Ski Patrol, deals with the explosive stuff on our behalf.  This important part of the ski world often goes unnoticed, so to get a feel for the (Canadian) world of ski patrol, try our new feature, Pro-Patrol News.
