Open at 9 am. The temperature at 6:30 is 0º. The forecast high is 17º, the sun is out, and the wind has died down. We came out of the storm with about 12 inches of new snow. Snow on the ground at the stake today, 32 inches.

The skiing will be really, really great. The Pisten Bully is out doing its thing putting in a nice track and a firm skate lane. The base is packed powder. The wind has died down, but the snow on the ground is wind blown and that makes it a little bit slow. Ian has all the low trails groomed with the snow cat. Jonathan is on a snow machine and is working on the Middle and Upper Blue Jay. He was able to get the Chickadee groomed yesterday.

A little insight on the behind the scenes. The chainsaw has been used a lot over the last 36 hours. Major blow downs and small blow down. As long as they are able to walk on the ski trail, they would only sink in a couple of inches. Stepping off the trail is up to the crotch deep. At that point the only option is crawling back to trail, knees and elbows. Not hands, elbows. This storm has been a long haul. Special thanks to the grooming crew!! Somebody bring them a breakfast sandwich!

Today is a great day to get outside!
