I always feel guilty, since as a skier I hope for big snow. I do recognize that these storms cost lives, though.
I still can't help my enthusiasm though. Last night was the best snow I've ever experienced here at my home resort, in ten years... I got to ride off trail on a slope I've been eyeing for the ten years I've been riding there. Ski patrol gave us a tongue lashing, but we could tell they were both impressed and a little jealous.
