Closed, waiting on the forecast snow. 32º at 7 am and cloudy.
The forecast is for 6 to 10 inches of snow, the temperature dropping during the day, and wind.
If we get enough snow we will be open Sunday. The low Saturday night is 9ª, and the high Sunday 26º. Maybe we will be able to ski Monday too.
The 6 inches of snow on Thursday (see photo above, that was the new snow) shrunk and melted that day. We know this new snow won’t last long. Ski it while you can.
I took the photo above on Thursday. It is the spot where Ian, in the Snow Cat, slide off the trail and part way over the bank. That is how thick and solid the ice under the new snow was/is. Ian was able to back up and get himself out. He then drove up the driveway to the snow cat shed. I wasn’t paying attention to the fact that he slid off, I missed that photo op.
