Humbug Open - Notable

I was expecting sunny skies today. To my surprise, we have had showers falling off and on all day long with a pretty nice squall in the early afternoon. It was snowing hard enough that taking pictures above timberline was pretty much futile.

Humbug is open. The trail is a very cool gully just off the Summit. The skiing in there was excellent today. It is notorious for catching a lot of snow and blowing in with that special, soft, velvety surface. It is not a particularly big or long trail, but it is quite fun. What is especially notable is that this is first real trail to be open full time this season with all natural snow. No snowmaking there. Now with each storm, I suspect more and more terrain will start opening up. This is good.
