I have been there on a clear day but downwind of snowmaking on the next trail over was a whiteout.

If you're not here today, you're missing out!! 42 degrees, not a cloud, 5-8 inches last night and it's like Spring skiing in January!!

Fcksummer is already rubbing it in with text messages and pics.

Man, what a difference a day makes! It felt like it was 0 degrees once you get above midway up the mountain and a lot of the mountain was icy.

You're overselling it. It was a great day, I'd call it 3-4" dense wind buffed cream cheese at the top and 1" of thawing out refrozen slurpee at the bottom. Skied some woods that I hadn't been into in a couple years. Should help the woods and the groomers.

 

[SLoMo]

We were def in different places then: I'm a picky girly skier who hates being cold and anything remotely refreeze, and I had a STELLAR day! Finally quit when the lifts shut down. Long sleeve shirt and a buff kept me comfortable all day. No complaints here!

In case nobody saw this,I had a friend post pics of the whales on Skylite a few days ago.

 

[fcksummer]

The whales around the mountain were huge when I was there yesterday.

I thought yesterday was excellent, the woods were all in great shape. The wind delays actually helped out, by the time the front 5 got skied off they opened the rest of the mountain and everything was untouched again. Shame about the weather today, it's going to set them back a bit.

As long as they keep the whales they will be fine! Good strategy too!
