7 PM edit: Temp has gone from 25 to 29 and back down to 23 here in the last 45 minutes. Still snowing.

Thats what we just finished off with and it gave us a coating of new snow and the temperature dropped from 32.5F to 29.3F in about 10 minutes.

More snow is off to the west in NE P.A and may clip me in about 1-2 hours.

A rogue snow shower just popped up right over us and it's sporting very heavy snow and big flakes. It also doesn't seem to be moving too quickly so maybe we can get a little more accumulation.

One guy could barely even escape the parking lot; I have no idea how he'll make it up the Sugarbush Access Road.

It's tough knowing that I've got to stay in today and fight to keep the business from getting snowed in, when I really want to be up skiing. But I imagine I'll get my days in this week.

I was Marc's friend with the long hair and the car the couldn't get out of the parking lot Monday morning. So have you got out skiing yet? Monday was quite awesome.

Austin, did you guys get out Sunday/Monday? How was it?.....


.... lie to me and tell me it was bad, so I don't feel bad about not going.

It was really windy and cold. The double didn't run at all Sunday and they shut down the single at 1 pm. The single line was so long Sunday that I only got in 4 runs. I have a little bit of frostbite on my chin, I couldn't get my car of KingM's lot Monday morning, and the lodge was so crowded that we had to go upstairs to eat. Sugarbush was on wind hold Monday so it was crowded.














(Well, I didn't lie to you, but I might have left a few things out)
