Sunny skies today and there haven't been many of those this winter. LOTS of snow. My back yard is 4 feet deep in snow. I've never seen it that deep. Yesterday I went to a small gathering of 6 people, two of whom were on crutches -- one with a broken leg and one had just blown here knee all from skiing. So be careful out there. Deep snow is great, but it also has a tendency to twist things.
There is an orthopedic surgeon turned ski instructor on the ski school staff here in Telluride. We always used to book very nervous customers with him - ski instructor and doctor all in one. He once told me the best way to avoid blowing out a knee was to not fight the fall. Of course, if you're heading for a tree, this may not be the right time to take that advice.
