Snowing Heavily This Morning
While we only had an inch of new snow at report time, it has been snowing heavily since. Last week, the wind buffed out our snow surfaces. The skiing yesterday was really good. With this new snow on top, we are in for a beautiful, "sleeper" powder day.

Hiking Season
East Wall hiking season began this week. The Willie's Wide staircase and North Pole gates are both open. Productive south winds have filled the entrances with more snow than normal, making access a bit cleaner. There were many folks enjoying these unique and special portions of The Basin today. Very cool.

Snowing Hard
It is really snow hard right now. We have already received at least two inches and according to open snow we may see up to ten inches by tomorrow morning. I really hope that happens.
We are seeing our upper mountain lifts on a wind hold today but tomorrow looks better and could shape up to be a day you do not want to miss.

Why is it called the Center of the Universe?
Some people ask why we call Pali the center of the universe and the answer is days like today and that our guests named it that. But everything from the Steep Gullies to the Spine to North Glade and into APG was smooth, chalky and getting a constant refresh. I think a day like today is as good if not better than any power day. Surfs up!

Getting Buffed
The "Good Wind" was blowing today. And it was favoring all kinds of places including The Spine, Mousetrap, Beaver Bowl, Black Bear, Norway Face and Fun Bowl. Humbug was especially sweet. There is a certain condition that creates this beautiful, buffed out condition. Snow needs to be available for transport. The wind needs to blowing a certain, fairly robust speed from the right direction. When it does, it is like skiing on velvet.
