It is totally dumping this morning and the first people just got in line for first chair of 2008-2009.

I got a faceshot on my first Downspout run this morning. Knee deep on the sides and it's been dumping all day. I pulled into a little drift just below Heaven's Gate a few minutes ago and it fractured about 2 feet deep and slid down to the flats.

Tomorrow might even be better, if this snow keeps up. Unbelievable Opening Day!

p.s. Some pics from today ....

Coach Kevin was having trouble keeping the snow out of his face.

Our first lessons of the year. They ripped up the base area, so we took them up Bravo. Smiles all around!

Looks awesome. SB is reporting 16 inches in the last 24 hours and 21 inches in the last 48.

I was at VT North getting my new boots today, so it shouldn't be long for me.

It was awesome. Very cold, but awesome.
