Not Quite a Blue Bird Day, But Close!

Photo taken by Deb while skiing the slopes Super Bowl Sunday 2009.


Yesterday while riding the Pine Marten Chair Lift, the spry Irishman who looked to be in his early 70’s, sat next to me and remarked with a twinkle in his eye that it was a “Blue Bird Day”. Having never heard that term, I decided to Google it (gotta love that instant technology). Definition: “A blue bird day is a beautiful sunny day after an overnight snowfall. It’s a perfect skiing day with a clear blue sky, bright sun, and fresh snow.” I certainly agree with the clear blue sky and bright sun part but the snow could use a little refreshing. Once the skiers started to head out to Super Bowl parties, it felt like the mountain was mine alone. No lines and no competition on the runs. This is Central Oregon living at it’s best!
