Dec. 29

Dec. 28

10:55 a.m. 5-6 new inches are skiing divine. liftline is groomed, standard is beautiful - packed powder. it's a bit windy on top, but not terrible. lift lines are to the end of the rope, estimated at 7 min. sun is peeking out of the clouds.
7:35 a.m.
Temp: base 25, summit 32.
Wind: blustery and blowing.
Snow: there is some new snow this morning. it's wet, but there isn't much of it so the skiing should be good.
Outlook: the top of the mountain is in the clouds, the wind is blowing hard and it's sleeting - the skiing will be good if you can brave it though. it's warm and the wind is expected to die down as the day goes on. not sure about the precipitation, it could go either way - meaning snow or rain. tonight the chance of snow/sleet is 100 percent and they're calling for 3-7 inches across high terrain.

Dec. 27

10 a.m.
Temp: base 23, summit 27.
Wind: calm.
Snow: they got the grooming right today. skiing is much improved. slightly warmer temperatures have softened a hard layer. the woods, well as you can imagine - not too sweet. skied out, variable...wait for some new snow.
Outlook: we're supposed to get four inches tonight.

Dec.26

8:53 a.m.
Temp: base 22, summit 24.
Wind: calm.
Snow: a combination of frozen to loose granular on the groomers with slicker, harder stuff underneath. kind of a jaw gripping experience. we could definitely use some snow, be it real or fake. luckily, we have an 80, 80 forecast for thursday and friday; that is, an 80 percent chance of precipitation both night. think snow.
Outlook: take joy in skiing with friends and family to overcome the trying conditions up there. either that, or sharpen your edges and let it rip.
