14 Inches Since Friday

We have had 14 inches of snow since last Friday. 5 of the last 6 mornings had measurable snowfall (OK, Monday was only a trace). After a foggy, overcast morning, the sun popped out and we had a beautiful day. This morning one of our Ski Patrollers said on the radio, "The East Wall is back." The hiking and the snow are both excellent.

I understand some of you were a little confused when I mentioned our snowpack is still at 133%. It is. Down in the Front Range or even in Dillon or Frisco, the snow may have melted in your yard. It hasn't melted on the mountain. Our base area elevation is 10,800'. Runoff is no where close to beginning. We are in great shape rolling into April, our snowiest month. Come on out and enjoy the fun and pay attention to this storm coming Friday.
