We recently packed up the truck and headed to Wolf Creek for an early season powder extravaganza.  It's been almost 15 years since my last visit.  Memory has faded a bit with age, so I wasn't sure what to expect.  Come to think of it, it was a full-circle, coming home kinda experience.  I was just learning to ski and living in Dallas at the time of my first trip to the Wolf.  I've since lived and skied in Europe, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Colorado Rockies.  While living in the Netherlands in 2000 I switched to snowboarding and haven't touched a pair of skis since - well until last weekend that is.
