On March 1 we get our burn permit for the year.
Our remaining three slash piles are large.
Experience tells us they could burn for over 2 months;
there could be a dry spell before they go out.
We took a chain saw to one pile,
separated out wood for someone's fireplace and created two smaller piles
to burn.
Still,
more than half the original pile was left to deal with later.
We're planning to get heavy equipment to pry the piles apart and do many
small burns next Fall.
March is not the end of skiing;
it has almost as much precipitation as January and February combined,
and that means snow at Bridger Bowl.
Pauline bought a second pair of skis;
she now has a pair for packed and a pair for powder.
March gave her opportunities to practice laying down fresh tracks with
the new skis.
Unfortunately,
time and conditions conspired to prevent photographs of her skiing.
