Snow Update


The last couple of days have been absolutely spectacular.  Today I wondered how far we were trending towards spring skiing.  Actually it was a great excuse to go skiing.  I covered a fair bit of ground skiing the North Side, Lenawee Parks, the Lower Mountain, and Montezuma Bowl.  I was on the backside from about noon until  1 PM.  Columbine was still winter snow top to bottom.  Black Bear was still winter snow.  Larkspur was still winter snow except the very bottom, what we call "Larkspur Fingers."  I found a little bit of soft spring snow on Lower Slalom Slope.  The last couple of days we had a cool wind blowing and most of the mountain still has winter snow.





So we have great winter conditions and OpenSnow.com is predicting 6-13" of snow for A-Basin over the weekend.  Our tremendous skiing is only going to get better.  





We will have to have an East Wall discussion some time next week.
