Snow Report

As I am sure you have seen........we are finally supposed to get some snow from the sky today.......maybe just over an inch........we will see..........we will take it whatever we get. Talking to an old guy........yep, older than me.........the other day and he said in all his years he has never seen a winter as snow free and as warm as this one..........like I have said so many times this year......it is crazy isn't it.........

.......I am not a big believer in global warming theories, and here is why. In the grand scheme of things, keeping track of highs and lows and precipitation for the last 100 years just isn't a very long record when compared to the age of the earth........I am not convinced that the weather cycles don't encompass two or three hundred year cycles for repeating weather.......so we possibly haven't even see in our life times or even in the time we humans have kept records the repeat of a cycle yet. Who knows..........

.....What I do know is that the cold front coming through starting today is going to get us into snow making temperatures starting tonight and every night for the next seven days......or more......and it looks like Thursday and Friday during the day will also be snowmaking temps.......

........so, we are going to give a lot of gun time to snow tubing during this stretch..........while the other guns are going to be moved from place to place to get more depth on ski runs that are already open..........and we are going to get more snow on the corner of Abbys Alley so we can get the upper access gate to the Drop Zone from Abby's opened up........

.......that only leaves Kenzies Korner and the upper half of Drop Zone to cover........with a good chance based on the forecast of getting those areas hit towards the end of the week........

......I also know this.......that in spite of the goofy weather, we have maintained good to great ski conditions with temps ideal for skiing and riding with no fear of frostbite...........if you didn't enjoy it, you might have missed some of the best of the season.............

.......however.......even with the cold front coming today.......this weekend's temps look great and with sunshine too.........

......starting next week we begin a big string of school groups on the slopes........that's always fun......especially introducing a person to a sport for life.........

see you on the slopes.........
