Expecting the worst, and looking at the forecast of -35 windchill I almost didn't go today...

Glad I did though.

Loon recovered nicely from last weeks rain event, with pretty much the whole mountain covered in manmade+ 4" of natural that came down mid-week. I didn't check out some of the natural/typically bumped up runs (Angel/Dipper), but most of the mountain ski'd pretty well.. Crowds weren't bad, sun was out, and another gread cold winter day on the hill... I dressed warm and was actually a bit hot --

My picks of the day were: Rumrunner, Blue Ox, Picked Rock, Flying Fox, Walking Boss, Lower Flume. May be back next Sunday, or could check out Cannon...

Thanks for the report.

Disappointed that I missed out (GF and I bagged the Loon weekend on account of illness on both of our parts)...

Hopefully I get a couple Loon days in before the end of the year.

In other news: Have they been letting Angel St. bump up this year? In years past it's been a steep groomer that they seem to groom every night.

I've been out on a few days where its been bumped up... looking at the snow report today it looks like it was groomed. I'm pretty sure they groomed everything after last mondays R@!#....

On new years weekend, triple trouble was bumped up nice.... probably need another good storm before that reopens though.
