Happy Christmas!
I so very much wish that I could be a beautiful white and fluffy day with all the ski areas open and bustling; everyone having fun. And I'm certainly not alone with that thought.
Alas, I'm afraid, the weather is pretty awful. It's raining.
But tomorrow is the day of that promised (or should I just use the word forecasted) snowfall. It looks like it will be a 1-day thing, with clearer weather possible on Saturday and Sunday. So the big question is whether will we get enough for all the ski areas to open up.
We can only hope.
Fingers crossed everyone!
Oh yes, it might be very windy too; enough to potentially affect ski lift operations. From what I hear, that seems likely.
