The day's not over yet.

Glad I chose Xtal instead. Reporting 5" at 5AM. 5" never skied so deep. Nobody there either. Wind really not an issue either, was blowing from the East/North East. Getting face shots on Sunny Side...

Heard about Northway and the lines. Never did go over there. With Campbell down, what at least 3 times for maintenance? It was still some pretty sweet runs. Managed to get up before they stopped it...

Tuesday was probably the busiest non-holiday weekday they have ever had at Crystal. Holy crap was it crowded at 8:20 AM this morning. I was probably 150 out of 350 in line before 1st chair.

Don't blame Ullr, it's all Mother Nature's fault!

Xtal did not suck this morning. It wasn't deep but it was soft and creamy. Kind of reminded me of the Chugach. Firm but soft like velvet, super stable. Managed to get into South Back early and had...

Was at Xtal today. Mixed rain and snow in the lower parking lot. Snow at the base at around 8:30 AM. Very wet snow. Snowed on and off, mostly on while I was there 'til 2PM. High Campbell opened about...

Just hope the slight warming trend and higher freezing level forecast for today doesn't come to fruition, and the FL stays at or below 4000'. Baker is looking pretty sweet for a Friday. Hell, any one...
