On Friday it was quite wet up to just below the Roundhouse but there was a ton of new snow in the Peak area. It was very heavy but I managed on my skinny skis. Should have been on my snowboard.
This past weekend and week has been very busy with the American Holiday and school holidays in a lot of places. Tuesday seemed like a Xmas Holiday weekend. Huge lineups to get up the mountain with hotels all booked out and lots of new snow.
Today was a mixed bag. Nice light slush on the lower slopes and powder on the Glaciers. The sun even made an appearance late in the day up top.
The Horstman T-Bar finally opened this week 3/4 the way up and now is open to the top.I am still trying to find out what happened to the test snowguns up there but they are missing in action.
I have found out the number 2 person on WB+ is Frank B. and Al B. is not far behind. The top person wins a seasons pass for next Winter. Also found out that since I am staff we are rated against other staff, not the public, which makes sense. It is hard to keep ahead of staff like Ski Instructors and Ski Patrol but I am in 83rd place.
Looks like the temperatures will start dropping and getting back to normal over the weekend. Some snow and some sun coming up.
