Today’s seven inches was just enough to call it a Powder Day. The four we got yesterday made things nice and soft for the fresh snow that fell on top of it last night. Our incredible season continues.

Strange

Today was one of the stranger powder days we’ve had this year. It started out with high winds and near whiteout conditions. The backside was shut down for most of the morning. But when it did open, things were good. It wasn’t your typical blower pow that we usually get this time of year. It was a little set up and wind blown. This type of snow can be incredible to ski. Today was no exception. The snow was fast, smooth and surfy. So much fun! 

Blue Sky Basin didn’t open for the afternoon like the rest of the backside. It had all day for the snow to fill in and pile up. There will be tons of snow back there tomorrow.

The line at Chair 5 got pretty big today when they finally opened the back bowls. Last year this would have taken hours to get through. With the new Chair 5 it only took about fifteen minutes.
