Finally skied Deer Valley! Very nice resort with relatively easy terrain. A THICK bank of fog below mid-mountain made for parts of some runs in almost zero-visibility, but there are so many trees at DV that one can stay close to them and navigate safely down. I'd almost call it an urban resort - as you go up the lifts from the base, you go right past private homes (priced in the millions) as well as condo villages. It snowed all day, but it was wet/heavy snow and we didn't realize how hard we'd worked until we sat down for lunch and had a hard time getting up! Called it early and headed back to the condo. Would love to go back on a bluebird day.
Fell again today on a bonehead move - hit my head this time, and re-hit the rib cage. Quite sore, so will check with the doctor on Monday. Very slight headache but no other head problems at all. SO THANKFUL for my helmet; wouldn't even consider skiing without it.
All in all, a delightful week spent with Ski Diva friends!
