Good morning fellow travelers,
Another day. A bit more snow. Nothing epic yet, but those little days sure do add up. On a day-to-day basis, the spirits don't rise, but on a 30-day basis we've had 191 cm. Now, that IS something. It's all good. Just prepping for the dumps to come.
The snow quality is excellent, and that's very important.
Forecast-wise, looks like a storm will be here tomorrow afternoon, so that's promising.
Keep thinking snow.
All lifts except Kitanomine magic carpet.
Night skiing until 7:30 PM
