Hello All,
I did not ski but was told by several that I didn't miss
much. We got about 4 to 6" of semi wet snow that barely covered the ice and
rocks. Reports were of a thin layer of snow on top of ice and rocks with damage
to ski bottoms. A wet snow & freezing mist at the top coated goggles with
ice limiting visibility. Wet chairs contributed to people getting very wet.
Having said that, I also heard the first few runs, making tracks where it was
groomed on the main line, Eside, Minya and Lowercross was sweet but only where
there had been a base before. The problem was knowing where the bare spots and
rocks had been showing before. Rock skis were the smart way to go today. It is
34 now with a mix of wet snow and fine rain. The snow clumped up fast after it
was cut up.
Schools were closed and there were no power outages that I
am aware of.
The roads were plowed, salted and are clear. The temps
will drop into the low 20's tonight and freeze everything so the grooming had
better be good for tomorrow. Forecast: http://www.ctweather.com/wrip-weather.php
We have a 3 day weekend (MLK) coming up so expect some
crowds again. Movies: http://www.catskillmtn.org/retail/movie-theater/index.html
For those of you in Colonel's Chair please note
there was another water interruption last night due to water main repairs so
flush the dirty water out of your pipes before flushing toilets or using any hot
water.
Ski ya,
Jon
