Sunny and near freezing on Saturday. Does anyone think maybe some of the bumps will loosen up later in the afternoon? I think it's a stretch with temps near 0 Friday night, but maybe? Sun is strong this time of year. I'm hoping they're exaggerating the temps of this cold snap.

That is what I am talking about! Let's get some snow on top of the ice. Dust on crust, baby! :eek:

:lol:

Looks like some pretty nice "dust on crust" to me!

Looks like the weather forecast is pretty spot on. Edges will definitely come into play.

He he he. You guys are going to laugh at my (lack of) carving skills... Actually, the Legends have a decent tune. I'll survive.

Almost packed and loaded. Oil change and finally replaced my flat spare tire for the 340 mile trek. :lol: Hope I can get in a few hours tomorrow before the snow sets up. Couple inches of something mostly frozen Thursday night so I'll be out early Friday. Saturday afternoon with sun and temp near freezing should result in quite a fine ski day. Sunday morning for a few hours to work off the booze and then it's 340 miles back home.

Getting PUMPED!

Guess I should start packing, and then figure out how to get to SR after work tomorrow. I need to find all my cold weather stuff. I've been in spring mode so long down here I didn't think I was going to need it until next season...

I suck at doing things ahead of time.... :roll:

Don't think it's been mentioned, but for those folks who dig live music, the Rustic Overtones are playing in the base lodge Saturday night. I've seen a couple shows in the lodge at Sugarloaf and they always draw a crowd; great party.

Car is packed (except for skis and stuff which are in the locker at my buddy's condo at SR). Sitting at the office is killing me now... Can't bug out early as there's a conference room renovation starting tomorrow and I've got to knock down a few dominos starting at about 2:30PM.

This morning's snow report from Facebook:
Gorgeous day out there and ample snow up on the hill, but be prepared for limited terrain until the sun softens things up. Winds last night did a number on ungroomed terrain and lift mechanics are hard at work banging ice off of lifts. Groomed terrain is skiing great - a mix of beautiful packed powder and wind-blown hard pack.
