Snowing - More Like Dumping

This looks like it is going to be a very good storm.  As of 5 AM today, we had reported 5 inches over about 30 hours.  It snowed off and on all day.  Right now it is dumping.  The forecast is for significant snowfall tonight and unsettled weather until at least mid-week.  Winter has definitely arrived.  I just walked out of the 6th Alley and there were a bunch of happy folks in there.  Today we also started our Kids' programs so we had the little guys all over the place.  

Over the next few days we should see some of those ropelines spreading out.  My suggestion is to be in BMX maze by 8:30.  Did I mention it is dumping right now?

It Just Feels Good

Just skied a few laps on the hill.  While we reported 1" this morning, we are at a storm total of about 3" now.  The forecast looks like continued scattered snow through Monday with the potential for pretty good precipitation Saturday night.  The skiing today is excellent, soft and fluffy.  The employees and the guests have big smiles on their faces. A gang of alpine racers from Holimont near Buffalo, NY was out there tearing it up.  Tully was loading the smoker at Black Mountain Lodge with racks of ribs.  We had a good night of snowmaking last night and are making headway on Lower Sundance. The Kid's Club and L'il Kid's Club Snowsports School programs start tomorrow.. It just feels good.

Arapahoe Sports Sale

After a little prodding in this blog, we are going to have a 2" 20% sale at Arapahoe Sports.  Guests will get 20% off items in the store between now and December 21 on any day the A-Basin Ski Patrol reports 2" or more of new snow.  The sale does not apply to items already having a discount.  That just might start tomorrow morning.  If not tomorrow, then I am counting on Sunday.  This could be better than Black Friday.  Please don't rush the door.
