The Fog's where out in full force today. Welcome back to Duane, Dorrie, John and Papa Roach! Great conditions for mostly man made snow, with a little fresh on top. It felt sooo good to cruise the bowl down to lower sundancer. Parking is now available down by Eagle and we can say goodbye to Moonbeam for a while. More vertical, more friends and more fun...

Friday the 13th, our lucky day, 7" of new snow that made everything seem different but still the same for now. More snow (6" to 12") coming in late Sat for some fun on Sun. It's all becoming clear now... There is a future...

Fat Tuesday

Mardi Gras (French for "Fat Tuesday") is the day before Ash Wednesday, and is also called "Shrove Tuesday" or "Pancake Day". Mardi Gras is the final day of Carnival the three day period preceding the beginning of Lent, the Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday immediately before Ash Wenesday. The entire three day period has now come to be known in many areas as Mardi Gras, so as it is elsewhere, it is also here with the Fog at Solitude. Beautiful day, lots of snow, and a sunny day just for us.

Welcome Back Mr Sun

We saw the first day of sun today that I can remember for quite sometime, welcome back. After the holiday it was nice to see sun, no people and the beach just the way we remembered it. Honeycomb was still in good shape and many of us made our laps back there today looking for more powder from Sunday. We can be such SL,UT powder hounds!

Fog Lunch at Moonbeam Deck II

Another shot from the Moonbeam deck, you can see a little snow from the first snowfall in the background on Little Dollie and Tude-Dude. Hey Ray, what ya doing?
