Good Day Skiers & Boarders,
It's snowing nicely again today, so that officially makes it a Good Day. We had 7 cm overnight. If you check the reports from this season, you'd see we've had a lot of 7 & 11 cm days, almost as if 7-11 has cut a marketing deal with 'ol Mother Nature. Just because it sounds crazy doesn't mean it's not true!
Anyway, the last few days have helped to replenish the high traffic shaved off spots, so we don't have to worry about scratching our Precious on pebbles and such. The official word is "Ongoing Heavy Snow Advisory." Such comforting words. Keep it coming, baby!
As it is now mid-February, we have moved out of the "official" peak powder season (generally regarded as Jan to mid-Feb), but that doesn't mean the snow will stop. Far from it. It's just usually less predictable, but since this year hasn't conformed to the norm, I wouldn't be surprised if the late season throws us some curve balls.
Think snow.
