Skiing is great and we are grateful. The heart Skida hats are in.

Open at 9 am. The temperature at 6 am is 5º. The forecast high today is 23º. Cloudy skies with a chance of new snow.

All trails are open and the skiing is really good. Hours of grooming went on last night, low trails groomed and the down track from Styles Junction.

Whether you plan to ski all the trails today, or ski the Woodcock, Snow Goose. Take time to stop and smell a snowflake and appreciate how lucky we are to be where we are able to breathe deeply, listen to the birds sing, watch the sun rise or set. Stop and enjoy. Say a prayer of thanks to the Universe. The snowflakes below were from Thursday morning. They were 3°F.-10°F.: traditional six-branched flakes (dendrites) according to the chart from Wednesday’s post. They fell in sunshine. And they made the great skiing even better.

And the Skida heart strings hat. It is here. We ordered 18 hats. As of this morning there are 15 left. Get here quick. They don’t last long, and the Skida web site is sold out of this pattern already. Below are Gretchen and Maisie, these photos are screen grabs from Skida ads.
