It seems like heavy snow is falling everywhere except Myoko. I suspect people here think we're getting some good snow, but the reality is that snow is falling but we're getting very little accumulation. That doesn't mean it won't get better, though!

The forecast still holds out a lot of promise, and we're grabbing on to it. Could be heavy tomorrow, they say? Alright, we says. We have lots of hope. Enough gloom. Skiing is possible (but it will be terrible offpiste today, sorry. Low snow, lots of brush, and ice crust to boot).

The wind has shifted to the west off the coast, and it is really screaming in (19m/s, or 68 kph), which is a good sign. That wind hitting the front range (us) can mean some good snowfall.

Oh, and the lifts are all running which is much better than yesterday morning's rain, high winds and few operating lifts.
