Good to see our friends back after a few weeks. They might not be skiing the rest of the season, but they can still do 12 oz curls. G knows the Root Beer kind... John and Jason know the other kind of their choice. Today's stats: 87" base, 322" for the season.

First "big" storm does the trick!

15" of pow this morning and it just kept coming down. Thick and heavy will make our little mountain all good. Powderhorn II opened today and it was a whole new ride up the hill. I would say by the time we were done, there was at least 32" of fresh snow. The coming weeks will be a whole new adventure. LIG

Old no 22 is hanging around

Sunday with the conditions still about the same, we decided to take a little hike up to the beach. Number 22 was a perfect place to get your picture taken. Still spring like conditions, blue bird sky's and we can always find something to do even it there is not a lot of snow yet (but it's coming). I think #22 was the shuttle that the TV show used in "Lost in Space", what do you think? Add a dome, some silver paint and a robot! Warning Matt, Jason and Scott, Will maybe watching!

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).
