Encouraging News From Whiteface

[freeheelwilly]

Climbed up to the top of Lil' Whiteface yesterday and skied excelsior. Wet sticky glop but excellent coverage all the way to mid. A bit sketchier from there to tower 10. Below that they had only blown a few test patches. Hiked up Mackenzie and along Approach. Fair amount of natural snow up high. The place will definitely be ready by next Friday (especially with the Tuesday coastal storm and possible Turkey Day Clipper).
