Nice shots. There was an awesome alpin-glow this morning as I was walking into work at LP, but it was colder than I anticipated and didn't stop for the shot. Have gotten plenty of good ones over the years. My favorite photos are still from the top of ME looking north along the Ridge, and the top of Heaven's Gate during an inversion. After working here for almost 10 years (and skiing/riding here since '91), the views never get old!

Huh ? Why blow snow when Mother Nature is providing snow tonight ?
Wasn't sure 1-3 overnight was enough to cover scratchinesss left over from wed thaw/Thur freeze. Plus - Whaleback was blowing!
smac75 (and others)...
As of 2/1, we are done making snow for the season. Our last push included the base area, Coffee Run, Sleeper, lower half of Spring Fling, upper half of Downspout, and VHT. We've got our spring routes and others pretty heavily covered with snow. In fact, the piles are still there on Downspout coming down from Bravo to Grinder flats. It doesn't make sense to make snow at this point since, well, you know, it's dumping out, and more is on the way. With President's Week starting on Saturday, we are in really good shape, much better than last year.
Most of us snowmakers have moved on to other departments... myself, I can be found on lifts all over LP.

Well, this is an interesting but disappointing morning. All lifts are down except Castlerock, which has maybe the longest line I've seen in a while. It was very amusing, and oddly heartening, to see all the people treking up from the bottom this morning as the wind whipped the snow around. Wind-hold be damned I guess. I think it may be time to invest in some touring gear.

And your are only allowed to skin/hike up racers edge-snowball-jester or pushover.
Makes good sense to define one uphill route for everyone to use on each area of the mountain. A free for all with people going up (and down) any trail could be ugly.

Good point. Just they are not close to the easiest way to get to CastleRock. A route up coffee run-lower jester would make ceslerock much more accessible.

I did get in 4 runs off the GMX at Mt Ellen this AM before it went on wind hold. It's been snowing and blowing all day so tomorrow should be fun.
Stowe had the four-runner on wind hold when I looked a few times...that was all I saw though.

I got darn fed up waiting until the lift closures were firmly announced by Win. I have to believe that it was definitely a complete safety issue, but there was a meltdown in communication to the many who were waiting in extremely cold and windy lift lines. Many day ticket holders. TReeskier and I relocated to MRG and had a wonderful day skiing; other than the longest lift lines that I remember seeing at the single chair lift.
