Rain & Fog.........

You could come down really negative on a day like today. It is the Holiday Season for the mountain, and here it is hit with a shot of warm weather and rain. But it is hard for me to be negative right now. We had a great time on the mountain today.

The mountain was fairly empty. Skied down and right onto the lift every run. The rain was happening early, then went away after lunch. But I can't even complain about the morning rain. It was a misty drizzle, and didn't soak through. The result was spring conditions on the snow and most of the runs that had been open remained open today. I can't even complain too much about the fog. Lucily there were not too many bodies on the snow to avoid, and it forced me to have more of an inner focus to my runs. What I mean is, I paid more attention to what my body was doing because there wasn't anything to look at except the fog.

I am on a sloooooooow Internet connection up here in the Catskills, so see the pics here.

Thanks for report. Look forward to hearing more in next few days. Any day of skiing is a good day, right? I am doing the official Snowdance with high hopes for powder! Happy New Year!
