Only see that on the rarest of occassions, at least long enough to get a photo [8D]

In my thirteen years flying at this club There has only been two days that there was enough for a while to fly floats on the runways and that was just so *****en!

I know, I know a lot of folks here have this opportunity much more often but its unique for us. The last time five or six years ago my memories are vivid of a perfect day. Wake up to four or five inchs of perfect powder and the race was on to get the floats mounted on the old Spacewalker and get to the field.

Just getting there of course was a challange because we knew the dirt access road would be washed out from several days of the previous rains. I and several others met at the wash and we ferried most of us accross with the fellows who had high four wheel drives.

The effort was well worth it and I was the first out not neccessarily up! It was just so cool making the first tracks in the powder that I spent that first tank just writing my name and stuff in the snow. Then came the sun and my first take of. That flight was wonderful with my white painted wet floats glistening in the sun. Just wonderful.
