Probably the most likely scenario for me too. Heading out as soon as my wife gets home from work. I'm worried about the wind scouring them too. Not worried about missing A51 though. 8" over no base is nothing to fret over. Been there, done that.
Supposedly a few AZ sightings already this morning, including 181. Lines should ski in nicely!

hopefully we'll get some mid-day TRs. i can only get out one night this week, if the wind blows away all the new snow i may opt to go thursday night instead.

Steve-O said he'd call me with a report.

I'll try and email Greg some pics since I don't know how to post them from my phone.
If I'm able to get out at all it'll be for a night session.
I agree about A51, it would be one thing if there had been any base left in the woods, but with this snow you'd mostly be turning on leaves and rocks.

Steve on his way there already?

a webcam @ sundown would be nice on days like today. . . .
one suggestion... place the cam at the ski shop on the little balcony and direct it towards gunny.

Chris Sullivan says closing in on a foot. Winds are mellow right not out of the N/NE. 3-5" more expected. Epic Gunny Bumps!

Just got here, snow coming down really heavy. Booting up, more to come.
Dammit! I want to be there NOW! :angry:
I gave bagging work a brief thought this morning-- responsibility/guilt drove me in. That and fact there was only about 4 inches or so down when I made the call at 5:00 am. Now trying to finish up and get out there.
FWIW- Gunny was pretty firma and slick yesterday afternoon. Hope this helps. Almost wish it was a little wetter/heavier to stick a bit.

Trecherous driving conditions this morning. At the ramp from 9 to 91, I almost lost control of my car, which would have had me end up staying on 9. It was a close one.

Just back...had a great morning. 4th chair up and second tracks down gunny. The Explosiv's were just amazing in the fresh stuff, and still have edge grip where the boarders scrape it down to the firm base. Switched over to the Extreme's around 10:30 and played a bit in the soft piles forming up in the center of gunny.
It did come down hard there for awhile around 11:00ish. You guys enjoy the afternoon/ evening skiing!

I'm heading over from work in a couple minutes.
