This was our first time playing in the snow up here in AK. We thought it was a wet snow because it isn't terribly cold yet, but we soon found out it was a powder because we couldn't make a snow ball. This made it hard to play in the snow because we do not have a sled or skiing equipment. (thesnowboarder is not us. It is a young man from Morton WA that Jim had in You mens when he was Young Men's President.)
