Hi All,
It was an interesting powder day with 12" over the past 24
hrs. It was fairly dry snow but had some weight to it. First few runs were fun
but once it got cut up, skiing became a bit more challenging and inconsistent.
The only groomed and consistent powder trails from the top were the Belt and
Huega/Dropoff or mid station which was groomed from the top of "D" down thru
Kennedy. There was no "D" or "F" running. The temp was brutal at + 4 at the
base and -10 at the top with gusty winds especially coming from the west side.
It got colder and and more windy as the morning progressed. I would estimate the
wind chill now at around minus 20 to 25.The only significant line was when the
Flyer opened but after that you only had to wait for 3 or 4 chairs. The sun has
been strong but didn't add any warmth - just good visibility. Many snow guns
were and still are on. I would expect some major crowds tomorrow due to the snow
that fell down state. Main St has a hard packed white surface - no pavement
showing but the roads leading up here I am told are clear.

There is another snow / mixed with rain system due Sun
into Monday which will then freeze on Tue due to single
digits forecast.
Ski safely.....party hearty,
Jon
