Upper Sundance Opens Saturday

Upper Sundance will open tomorrow, Saturday.  Dorse just put the finishing tiller pass on it and I skied it.  It was very good.  Only the upper half of Sundance will be open and it will not be full width.  Since the upper half will feed back into High Noon, we are considering it a "blue, more difficult" trail.  There is still no "green, easiest" trail available from Black Mountain Express.  I think you will enjoy this nice terrain addition.



First thing this morning I went to The Summit.  The snow and grooming was quite good.  I don't think anyone can complain about what is open.  The skiing out there is good.  Like all of you, I am looking forward to the big snow so we can ski the whole mountain.

Sundance Snowmaking Update

Snowmaking is going well on Upper Sundance.  We have had 5 fans guns running on Sundance, 1 fan gun at Molly's Magic Carpet, and another fan gun on the Terrain Park near the top of Black Mountain Express.  The skiing today was quite nice.  We usually have a quiet period right after Thanksgiving.  It is a great time to come enjoy the place with just a few people around.  I skied between 9:30 and 11:00 this morning and had  a very good time.  The weather forecasters are saying sunny, beautiful days all week.

There is another nice article in skimag.com featuring A-Basin.  They list the top 10 ski areas for character.  Again, we are in great company with Whitslter, Alta, Telluride, Sun Valley, Jackson and more.  I like it.  Hope you enjoy the article.

Randonee Dinner

Last night we had another great feast at Black Mountain Lodge.  It was the Night in Bavaria Randonee Dinner.  We have come to expect extraordinary food and music.  Leon Littlebird did his thing with flutes and the guitar.  Chef Rybak and crew did what they do best.  Bacon wrapped pheasant, North Atlantic cod, roast pork, dill potato soup, Black Forest cake, and apple pancakes just to name a few.

Everything was awesome.  The skin up was especially cool.  While not quite full, the moon was really bright and the mountains just glowed.  I love being out in those conditions.  Where else can you ski or snowshoe in to such an amazing feast.  Very cool.

Bluebird Day

Sometimes I wonder how many more of these perfect Colorado, cloudless, blue sky days that I can take.  You know, I think I can take a lot more of them.  My first choice of weather is always a big snow day.  My second choice is just like this.  The days have been stunningly beautiful.  The sky is so blue, it doesn't even seem real.  The last few days I spent a lot of time with folks enjoying the holiday.  Pretty cool.

The skiing isn't too bad either.
