Dust on groomed, becoming fresh powder
Temp: 26 (arrival), 28 (departure)
Originally I planned on hitting Blue or Elk today but the forecast changed early this morning to ice/rain for Pa. so I headed north. Arrived just after 9 & it was snowing already. And it snowed the entire day, dumping a good 4". This was my first true pow day of the season. If they had night skiing, I'd still be there- it was that enjoyable. Sparse crowds, no lines. Started off lapping Superchief, then moved to 7 lift, and on to Tomahawk. No one was paying any attention to the closed signs- there were tracks everywhere. After lunch repeated the same strategy but also decided to venture onto a lonesome trail on the extreme east side- it was awesome. Saved the last couple runs for the bumps of Onteora, which were amazing as they'd been pounded with fresh pow all day long. Forecast calls for more snow all day tomorrow. Get while the gettins good!

Warming up by the crackling fire
