Dates:
December 2, 2012

Conditions:
26" base, MG/FG/LG

Weather:
Windy and cloudy; temps in the 30's.

Report No: 3

Really not much to say today as the high winds closed the tram at 10:00 and was blowing a lot of the snow off the open areas. One of our friends joined me today for some quick laps off of Gadzoom alternating between Lunch Run and Bassackwards, which are still the only routes down off of Gadzoom. They delayed the opening of Little Cloud because we have lacked snow. That's pretty much the story so far--great start after the massive Veteran's Day Storm and some other smaller storms, but since then dry fronts with lots of wind, warmer temps, and no snow.

In sum, things are getting skied out. Hope that the upcoming pattern change brings snow with it.

Here are some pics:
