Sorry for late report. It has been one of those mornings!


The great news is that there is a lot of snow around. Tons of it. Madarao are reporting 70cm. And I am seeing similar, though there is definitely varying amounts piled up in places due to the wind.


Basically, a lot. What we love to see. :)


But with the weather being what it is this morning, operations appear to be limited with the ski area saying that they will be opening as weather allows. Not sure exactly what is open just now.


There's more snow on the forecasts, regularly through next week and heavy around the weekend. I'm excited at the thought of the tree run courses opening once this storm eases off (hopefully).
