Site was updated now reporting 8".  Can't wait to get back on Saturday!!

Easily 6" w/ maybe 8" on Plunge (wind protected). They roller groomed a couple of closed trails (Ridge/Twist/Overlook).
Plunge to GS was run of the day although entire mtn. was in best shape of the season. A little too much grooming for me, but a fantastic day.

Like.

I might go Saturday too

More snow on Sunday, hope to meet some people while I am there Sunday.

today was very good at pkill, there was like 2" of creamy snow on top of the rain consolidated 6" from a few days ago. on some aspects there was a not bad edge-able crust but it softened with the warm temps. and the rain made for finally a very good cover, the trees are skiable.

Thank you very much.

Doh!  Apologies.  How was the skiing today?

Roll Call:

Who's at Platty tomorrow?

I will be at Plattekill. Green jacket and gray pants.

I took this while watching my daughters race. A view from Lower Face looking at Plunge. Picture=1000 words.

Great pic! Today was a great day for a first trip to Platty. Wish I could have stayed for the BBQ. I'll be posting some pics tomorrow.

It was really great today.  Some of, if not the best conditions all year. My oldest isnt feeling great...but I'll be there again...I'm hoping to put the girls in lessons in the am and get a few hours freeskiing in too!!

Cool pic denver.

Snowy day. Trails good,  all natural best. Freefall!  The new line cut but ml's crew rocked.  Followed Sean Riley into sidecountry, details at 11.
