After a few days of very wet snow, temperatures get colder and the powder gets lighter. About 13" total today with more coming tonight. We hope it is the start of something new.

Another Blue Bird Day

Another great day at Solitude. Lot's of snow has piled up over the last 12 days. Today's stats are mid mountain 60" base with 159" total snowfall so far this season. Everything is open with the exception of Sol/Bright cut over. A few rocks here and there back in Honeycomb but the feeling is there. With a few more storms and a few less people (yes, it's been busy over the holidays) over the next few weeks, we are in business. We are also pleased to see Bill back on the mountain, welcome back FOG.

Sunday Tailgate

Sunday tailgate with a great selection of hot dogs and chicken wings (your choice of sweet or spicy no less). We are just loving the great weather and there seems to be a break in the storms for now. Soft snow, good coverage and fun for all. Crazy Sunday with the parking lot completely full, lots of people and cars parking out on the canyon road (parking tickets where to be had for all of those lucky people).

Fog Potluck Christmas

Good friends happen on and off the ski slopes, Merry Christmas to all the fogs wherever you might be! Thanks to Mary and Karl for letting us be their guests at their home and ski village.

Glorious days are upon us!

Glorious days are upon us! With a lucky 13" mid mountain new snow the last few days it just keeps coming. The morning crew stops for now what is a tradition, our morning 10:00 am juice break. Just enough to warm our insides and get us back out on the mountain to have more fun. Today stats: 43" mid base, 91" for the season and lots of snow in the forecast for the next 10 days (7 of the 10). Honeycomb opened today! Remember, there are a lot of days left in the season before you go out and get all jiggy to soon... I did...

Snow Snow Snow

We have had lots of snow since Friday and you know what? We like it!! All chairs are now running (except Honeycomb) and many more runs are open, what are you waiting for? More snow in the forecast in the upcoming days/weeks and I'll post pictures as soon as we have a clear day. We hope you are having as much fun as we are...

Big Snow Coming?

Saturday forecast is a winter storm watch! We may even be in for a total of 6 days back to back. As for today, bluebird skies, good friends and even some day glow.

Snow Storm Alert

So the day starts out at 9:oo am with sunny sky's and a forecast of a possible small about of snow today. 9:45 or so, pow! We get a hour long storm that brings us about 2", oh what a joy it was. Light and fluffy, not 2 feet, but cold and something new to ski on. We did make some fun little tracks that put a smile on all of our faces.

Changing Weather Pattern?

3" last night, it made for a great cruising morning, much cooler temps too! Maybe we are starting to have that changing weather pattern. All snow guns were blowing today as well. It looks like they are getting ready to open up a few new runs including Main Street. All we need is one good storm of 2 feet or more and we'll be in business. Ski you...
