Sweet day, 20" of fresh, skied great all day even chopped up. Got about 20 runs in 10-2:30, 10,000 ft. Sunny most of the day, brisk wind at the "summit". Might head back this weekend, I think more snow is coming.

^^ So nice he posted his pic twice!
Thanks for the update Corn.

Forgive me, I'm tired, and just a wee bit wasted.

Not your fault Cornhead, my guess is it's a combo of iPhone and Forum incompatibility.

Looks awesome, glad you got some!

Not as much snow as we'd hoped for overnight, but skiable snow.  The crust over there is like it is here, plyable, but it has more snow on top. Not enough, but more.

The trees were tough, but we stuck it out and had fun.

Fun day skiing with the SR gang.



My camera did some wild stuff this time, adding filters and cropping randomly and without approval.

Anyone have any idea how much snow they're getting?

I've been watching a blue blob on the radar just sitting over them for the past 36 hours. They gotta be over 20" by now, right? Might be a fun hike/ski tomorrow...

Matt web site says 8"
the streamers are more of N /NW orientation..they need a more south westerly wind

I saw that and couldn't believe it!

this is a Cuse and Bing  event..And favored up slope mountains..

Snow ridge reports 74" for the season, anybody been there?

Winter Storm Warning...


I wonder how much it takes to open?

The Ridge!!!

Do you have a photo? Looked killer on FB.  Did they run snow pocket?

No pics, but it was pretty nice. Light powder settled to 14-16" or so. Skied great. They only ran the 2 main chairs--Ridge Runner and North--open trails were from the main face north into the ravine. Snow bowl was not open.

Were people skiing the snow pocket?

Seems like the ravine would be one and done.

Fun opening day of the season! The ravine was one and done but that one was fun🤘😜

Snow Ridge is starting to look fat.

Opening this Friday.
