SM- gates weren't open, though I knew a few people ducking out into the BC who said it was pretty good. Unless I skin for my turns, I'll wait until they open up- which will hopefully be later this week if these storms come through. As for the 4,000 level tomorrow, it's not so bad- that's only 2/3 the way up Armstrong. So as long as Chair 2 is getting some good glop, that's fine with me. This week could be a great base builder and I'm hoping that by the weekend I'll be heading out to the Knolls.
I'll be up most nights after work this week at the Summit if anyone wants to make some turns. All depends on the weather. And that sick day is looking like W/Th or Friday for me.

Squirrel, I think I have the Bird flu…
The trumpet scatters its awful sound Over the graves of all lands Summoning all before the throne
Death and mankind shall be stunned When Nature arises To give account before the Judge

Yesterday with 7cm fresh over cut-up was probably the worst day conditions-wise I've had at w/b in the past 2 weeks. Still had a great time up there with lots of turns to be had all over the place. Wish I wasn't stuck in the city this week, the weekend can't come too soon...

Upper mountain closed at Crystal this morning ... wind hold. Coming down at a good rate there. Heading back up tomorrow ... this storm track is right on target.
The snow doesn't give a soft white damn whom it touches.

Nah! I just checked the Teton Gravity snow reports. Baker doesn't have any new snow.
--- They gotta fix that. A snow report that does not include Baker is like a sports center that gives all the scores except for the Pistons, Colts and Blue Devils.It's hard to wag your tail when it is tucked between your legs.

Just got back from OOhtah about 18 hours later than intended. No way I can ski tomorrow, way too much work to do. Well, maybe for an hour....
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
