Powder Day (Winter Flying)

[Alexb2000]

Skiers all know the term powder day, yesterday was an aviation version. Over night we had a light dusting of powder. We departed making the first tracks and leaving a cloud of champagne powder on the roll. It was a beautiful morning with low clouds hanging around the mountains. On the way to Dallas we were skipping in an out of IMC at 15 with a near constant mist of frozen virga. Nothing new here, just a beautiful day to fly.

I LOVE winter flying, how about you?

Nice photos. Living in Louisiana, this isn't a type of flying that I get to take part in, so I appreciate you sharing the experience.
