When lack of visibility is bliss...

All skiers will agree that visibility is key to good, safe and effective skiing, and that flat light, just as thick fog, are major impediment to moving forward and having fun. Yet, there are instances in which, if you're an excellent skier, ignoring what's going on under your feet can be pure joy.

I'm talking about new, deep snow conditions where the fluffy stuff plays the role of a forgiving shock absorber that almost let you get away with pure recklessness. Yesterday was one of these days when I skied at Canyons. The only caveat is that you must know the terrain before hand and then let yourself go. You won't see much, but you'll feel pure bliss!
