Happy New Year, and happy new snow!
It’s decided to come visit us again, and the timing is perfect. The slopes had some pretty coffee-latte-looking patches (at best; rocks and grass the worst).
It started last night, just as I was coming home from a little local celebration to bring in the new year, but really picked up this morning.
I’m going to go out and enjoy it, so let’s see how many resorts have a timely first report ready for 2026.
