The Vaccine Bus was a big hit at The Basin the last couple days. It seemed to be especially popular with "my generation" of friends getting their booster shots. The line was a very social place. About 300 people chose to be vaccinated here.
My hope this winter is to have Arapahoe Basin operating in as "normal" of a manner as we possibly can.
We made some decent progress on the Upper Mountain this week. Temps were good. Streamflows were good. The wind was a bit of a challenge, but we made some headway. We are taking a couple days off from snowmaking. We will let the reservoir re-fill. The Snowmakers can get some rest and maybe sneak in a little fishing. We will be hard at it early next week.
It is a good night for snow at The Basin. Mother Nature is doing her share and putting a few inches on the ground. The temperature is dropping and on its way to the low teens. The snowmakers are busy running at full capacity. Snow is falling from heaven and hoses.
This photo has nothing to do with today. I was just day dreaming about skiing powder.
